Cock Brand Products

Anybody have any luck determining whether Cock Brand products are gluten free? I have tried emailing them a few times now but no answer as far as I can tell. I loved their curry pastes and sauces before I went gluten free and although the label does have an allergy warning section that does not mention wheat/gluten, I would rather hear more definitely from somebody. The ingredients label on the curry pastes contains the dreaded "spices" ingredient so I am reluctant. Would love to hear if anyone has had experience with this brand! Thanks :)

Why do you dread "spices?" Nothing made from a grain can hide there. "Seasonings" is a different animal, though.

Really? I always thought spices could mean nearly anything, and considering a lot of the individual spices I've looked at in the past (Clubhouse brand, for example) said some of their products may contain gluten I was weary. That is reassuring, thank you!

Really. The list of things that can be included in the ingredient "spices" covers many things, including herbs. But no grains or grain products.

 

Clubhouse is a McCormick brand sold in Canada. It has long been McCormick's policy to explicitly declare any gluten source on the label. In Canada, since August 4, 2012, ALL gluten sources must be explicitly declared on the label. There may still be some products in stores that were packaged under the old rules.

Unfortunately psawyer is completely wrong. Spices would also include spice mixtures, which may contain starch to prevent them from separating. In North America that would most of the time be corn starch, but in many other parts of the world, gluten containing wheat starch is cheaper. So yes, there is a very valid point in talking about a dreaded "spices" ingredient when it's about a safe celiac diet.

Hi Jorg,

Welcome tot he forum! :)

You may be right about wheat or even barley being used in some countries.  It is good to always check the rules on food ingredients in your own country.  The rules do vary quite a bit.  Peter was only talking about Canada in this case.  But some companies use different ingredients in different countries for the same food product.  So it is important to verify the ingredients in your own area.  Companies also sometimes change ingredients, so keeping an eye on ingredients is a good idea.

Actually, it applies to the US, too.  "Spices" legally must be spices and not grains or other things.

FDA rules on spices:
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=182.10

Grains can not be included. Section 101.22(a)(2) says, in part, "except for those substances which have been traditionally regarded as foods." That would cover grains.

I just stick to Spicely Organics....all their spices/seasonings are certified gluten-free and free of additives.

Thank you for that information!  I'm super sensitive and trying to use whole foods plus a few certified gluten free items.  This really helps.

I  also love Spicely Organic Spices!  CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE and very, very good.  You can get them on amazon.com.  For me, it's simply not worth taking the chance with un-certified spices.  I've seen videos of how spices are gathered, transported, etc. in foreign countries.  Not worth chancing the possible cross-contamination IMHO.

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
