Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix?

Hi. I'm seeing mixed information on this. I know I could make my own seasoning, but my husband bought this, so I'd like to know.

On one hand, I'm seeing that Ortega follows clear labeling practicing and would call out any gluten ingredients explicitly, but on he parent company's website (b &g foods) it's not listed as gluten free.

Anyone know?

If they have a list of things that are gluten-free, and that is not on the list, unless it is a brand new product that they haven't had a chance to put on there yet, probably means it is not gluten-free.

I would read the ingredients.  Wheat, which is sometimes added to taco or chili seasoning, must be listed in the ingredients.  With the new laws going into effect, a lot of companies won't list things as gluten-free if they haven't tested them.  Doesn't mean they aren't gluten free - just that the company isn't going to spend the extra time and money on testing.

 

I have found that taco and chili seasonings have the same spices but taco often has extra odd stuff - maybe to make it stickier?  I will use Williams chili seasoning in place of taco seasoning.

      Most likely cross-contamination I believe.

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase...

      Inhaler problem

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic...

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find...

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!
