I'm not sure, but the ones I've seen have been. I think McCormick Spices will always state ingredients. That's the brand I have.

I'm hesitant to say anything is ALWAYS gluten-free, but I've never found a paprika that isn't. I(t's not on my own radar screen of things to worry about.

I use the McCormick brand a lot and have had no problems.

Should be gluten free, however, it is a nightshade, like peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes so if you have a problem with those, it will affect you (it does me!)

I've been gluten-free for about five years now and have never had any trouble with spices, even mustard and hing (Frontier brand asafoetida which uses rice flour. Yesterday I was having some of the Turkish sheperd's salad that I made with chile powder from the bulk bin at the local natural food store and it felt like I was glutened. I'm supersensitive and it felt like my guts were being extracted for Chuck Norris' horrible balloon toy practical joke, so I am pretty sure that it wasn't a case of cc, but rather some mystery virus or people are actually adding wheat flour to chile powder out there somewhere. This is an old thread, so I was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

The only pure spices I've seen so far that are not safe are Great Value (Wal-Mart Brand). They disclose that their spices "May contain traces of wheat." on the packaging. However, this is the only instance I've seen where a spice is unsafe. As the others mentioned, McCormick is a great company to trust. ALL of their pure spices (oregano, paprika, thyme, pepper, etc.) are gluten free, and their spices mixes (like marinades) clearly state any allergens on the label. We also use Kroger brand spices and a few other generics. If in doubt, just call the company. It's nice to hear from them that the product is indeed gluten free! :)

I called the store and got Jesse, the gluten-free guru of the place who read me the ingredients, which all sounded fine (my word, there are a lot of ingredients in chile powder!) When I got home, my bf mentioned that his non-gluten-free dad had had a similar experience, so I'm guessing that it was just a virus, but I'll be sure to read labels before buying my bulk spices in the future. I realize that anytime you buy bulk you run risks, but I just can't conscience all of those little bottles that spices come in, either economically or spacewise. I looked around a little bit, but didn't find anything - anybody know of a decent list of spices to be on the lookout for as potential gluten-hiders? I know of curry powder, asafoetida (hing), wasabi and mustard and obviously any blends, but some people confuse mustard flour for regular flour when it isn't and that just makes for more confusion...

Thanks for the reply sunnybabi, I thought I had opted out of posting, but instead just opted out of the edit. Sorry about the grammar. B)

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
