Would You Eat This?

I asked if their steak spice was gluten-free and got this

Hello Ada,

Thank you very much for contacting us.

Our Keg Steak Seasoning does not contain any ingredients with gluten.

Our spice is, however, produced in a plant where there are products with gluten present.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions or concerns.

He didn't say shared equipment...I mean, my kitchen has some gluten because my husband eats bread or if we make pizza, my crust is gluten-free and his is not...I am trying to sort out some problems I am having. Unfortunately, I have NO stomach symptoms, only neuropathy and join/bone pain, so it is all so random!

hate this.

Not sure about any other Kegs, but the two times I tried it I was violently ill. The second time I told them that the first time I had been sick, so this time I just wanted a PLAIN steak, not even salt or pepper, and a plain baked potato. They said they cleaned the grill, but somehow I ended up really sick again. They had one of those menus that tell you how to order gluten-free (take the bun off the burger) that make me just laugh. Outback's is the only good version I've seen..wish we had them in Canada.

Well, I bought the spices. I didn't even eat at the restaurant and I just feel so weird and it is so random.

Maybe if they aren't pure spices, I should stay away. I honestly don't know how sensitive I am but I had antibodies off scale and total villous atrophy and my guts were fine fine fine, happy happy happy...just wish the rest of me was

I do eat it when I dine at The Keg, and have never had a problem.

The comment about gluten products in the plant is sort of ironic, considering that the kitchen at The Keg--like almost every restaturant kitchen in existence--contains gluten products.

The way I understand it is that if they are labelled as spice, the can only contain pure spice. Otherwise they would have to be called seasonings. Do they call it steak spice or steak seasoning?

[psawyer]

It is labeled as seasoning because not every ingredient qualifies as a spice. There is no gluten in it, but if I recall correctly, it does contain soy. I don't have the ingredient list readily available.
