This recent correspondence with Frontier Seasonings (which  
specializes in organic seasonings) included below was not very  
reassuring and didn't address my question.  Do any of you use their  
products, particularly the ones I mention?  Any problems?

My email:

Hello -
Can you please tell me which of your seasonings you consider to be  
gluten-free?  If you have a list, that would be great, but I am  
particularly interested in the Simply Organic Grilling Seasons  
Chicken Seasoning and the Organic Herby.  It would also be very handy  
to have this information on your website.

I am interested in whether (1) you add any wheat, rye, barley or oat  
gluten to your seasonings or as part of their packaging; (2) the  
products are made in a plant with other products that contain wheat,  
barley, rye, or oat flour (and your estimation of whether the  
seasonings are likely to therefore contain gluten from these  
sources); (3) whether any product is made on the same equipment as  
products containing gluten; and (4) whether you test for gluten in  
your final products.

Our family needs to be very careful not to ingest gluten from wheat,  
rye, barley, or oats as it makes us very ill and so this inquiry is  
part of our effort to eat safely.

Thanks.



Frontier's Customer Service Response:

Thank you for your interest in Frontier.  We do not provide a gluten  
or allergy free statement for our products since the facility and  
production lines haven't been verified to run as such.  We do follow  
strict Good Manufacturing Practices to minimize the potential for  
cross contamination but we do not test for the presence of allergens  
in our final product.  If there is anything else we can do to assist  
you please let us know.

Sincerely,

Danielle
Customer Care
