There seems to be some question amongst celiac sufferers as to whether Lawry's Seasoned Salt has gluten in it. I use the product often and, personally, have suffered no reaction from it. Show Celiac.com Sponsor (A13): Lawry's is a Unilever product and here's what they have to say: "Some of the people in my family have food intolerances and food allergies, can you tell me which food allergens are in your products? Our product formulations and ingredients change from time to time; therefore we do not have a list which identifies specific sources of allergens or gluten in our products. If our ingredients contain even trace amounts of peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, milk, eggs, fish, soy, sulfites or wheat (and ingredients that may contain gluten), it will be stated on the label." The ingredients in the seasoned salt are as follows: salt, sugar, spices (including paprika and turmeric), onion, cornstarch, garlic, tricalcium phosphate (prevents caking), paprika oleoresin (for color), natural flavor, soy lecithin. Other than possible cross contamination by using the same equipment to process the salt as they use to process gluten containing products, the only suspect in the ingredients list is the "natural flavor". According to "flavoring experts", gluten-containing grains are not commonly used in flavorings. However, there are two exceptions: 1. Barley Malt can be used as a flavoring agent and is usually listed on the label. It might be listed as barley malt, barley malt extract or barley malt flavoring. Some companies may list it as a "flavor (contains barley protein)" or occasionally delare it only as "flavor". 2. Hydrolyzed wheat, corn, and/or soy protein can be used as "flavor" or "flavor enhancers" in a variety of foods. However, in Canada and the USA, they must be declared as "hydrolyzed proteins" and not hidden on the label as "flavor" or "natural flavor". They must be specified, e.g. "hydrolyzed wheat protein". However, if Unilever can be believed and/or trusted, if there is any gluten, even trace amounts, in the seasoned salt, it would be stated on the label. And it isn't.  "A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes gluten, a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oat, and all their species and hybrids" "Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in one's diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals" "Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter" Whether you are cooking meat or making roasted potatoes, you have likely used some form of seasoned salt before. It's a delicious spice mix that gives great flavor to any food it's added to. But how safe is it to consume for those with gluten intolerance? This post will specifically talk about one of the most popular seasoned salt brands, Lawry's. And is Lawry's Seasoned Salt gluten-free?
Lawry's Seasoned Salt is a seasoning blend that was purchased by McCormick several years ago. McCormick is a big spice supplier; you can find it in any grocery store. As the name suggests, Lawry's seasoned salt combines dried ground spices with salt. Most seasoned salts and seasoning blends have anti-caking agents to prevent the salt from sticking. Luckily, Lawry's uses cornstarch as the anti-caking agent in their seasoned and garlic salt blends. Things can change, so I highly recommend reading the ingredients label for the most up-to-date information on ANY food product you purchase. Be sure to look at all of my articles on meal ingredients to know which are gluten free. Answer: Is Lawry's Seasoned Salt Gluten Free?Lawry's Seasoned Salt is gluten-free, but it is not certified gluten-free. Lawry's uses plain English labeling practices, clearly labeling all allergens in their products. Lawry's website states that all allergens will be listed on the label if there is gluten in the product. The website also says that their machinery is cleaned consistently to prevent any issues of cross-contamination. It is always best to check the ingredient label and the manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date information. If you have Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, it will be up to you to determine if this product is safe for you, given that it is not certified gluten-free. Outside of seasoned salt, most of Lawry's other spice blends are also gluten-free, meaning the company lists it as a gluten free product. If you are unsure if your favorite Lawry's spice is gluten-free, their website has a complete list of the ingredients and their allergen statement. Though Lawry's spices and herbs do not contain gluten-containing ingredients, their seasoning mixes aren't always gluten-free. For instance, their Au Jus Gravy and Beef Stew mixes have wheat. So, they are both unsafe for those with Celiac disease or gluten allergies to consume. One thing to note for ANY brand of spices and herbs is that many contain anti-caking agents. Anti-caking ingredients may have gluten ingredients or have more risk of cross-contamination. Before labeling practices, this was a big issue. Multiple companies were using ingredients like flour to save money in the production of spices. Luckily, these practices aren't as common nowadays. There are still anti-caking agents being used, but they're usually gluten-free. Make sure to read the ingredients list before purchasing to ensure there is no gluten in the spice or seasoning mix you are planning on buying. What Brands Of Seasoned Salt Are Gluten Free?
