Manufactured On The Same Line...

[lorka150]

I have two spices here that I am pretty positive were the culprits of glutening. I called the company and they said that they are gluten free, and manufactured on the same line, even though the line is cleaned.

What do you think of this? Was it maybe not the spices? Should I not risk it? Anyone else would avoid them?

Thanks!

I usually eat brands that are made on the same lines unless I get a problem from them.

Have you changed products like shampoos, makeups, soaps, and that sort of thing yet? Maybe it was something else and not the spices. Which brand of spices was it?

Did you think of anything else you had that day that could have had gluten in it?

I would be interested to know what brand it was.

Frito-Lays does that type of thing, too. Some things (Stax, Fritos, Lays, Ruffles, etc.) made on dedicated lines, but others, such as Cheetos, are gluten-free but are made on the same lines that are cleaned after each batch.

I'll eat such foods unless I isolate them as being a problem.

It was "no-name" brand (a Canadian brand, owned by President's Choice).

I had a horrible experience after using their garlic powder, so I called and knew it was gluten free. Then yesterday I used their cinnamon for the first time, and the same thing happened. Because it was two spices from the same manufacturer, I've decided to drop them!

I'd ditch it. Go with McCormick spices since they clearly indicate gluten.

I stay away from the No Name brands in regards to most items, not just spices. I also exclusively use McCormick's.......
