Penzey's Spices

I just spoke with Kathy at Penzey's. I wanted to update our knowledge of this company.

All of their spices & spice blends are gluten free.

The only things that could contain gluten are their soup bases [their beef does indeed, I saw it over the weekend]. I asked about mfg those products and their blends - the soup bases are made for them in another facility. It's my understanding that there is no gluten in the Penzey's plant where the spices are done.

Kathy also mentioned their catalog will list all the ingredients for the product.

They will also label barley, rye and oats if it's used in the product.

I almost exclusively use Penzy's. They really have the best spices. Plus you can buy bulk refills so you don't break the bank every time you run out of something.

I pretty much sprinkle a dash of their pumpkin pie spice in my coffee every morning. Good stuff!

Oh sorry... yes. Referring to the spices in the bags as the bulk refills, which is better then bins and what-not where oxygen can make them go stale and other things can fall into them.
