Re: Spices-MSGBut, guess what they do have IODINE, which I am allergic to.... So be sure to tell people that are allergic to shell fish, NO on our salt.

Yes, I called HO and verified this.
 
Re: Spices-MSGOh Man. I am allergic to shellfish!!
 
Re: Spices-MSGOk. So I'm confussed. Is the salt dangerous to those with allergies or the spices or both? I have a friend in my hospitality group that has very bad severe allergies to shell fish.

I don't know. I am allergic to Iodine. So I am very careful. I know that if you are allergic to Iodine, you are usually allergic to shell fish and vise versa. I would think she needs to be careful.
 
Re: Spices-MSGI can use Iodized salt and take vitamins with Iodine with no problem. But if I eat shellfish....or in some cases anything that has come in contact with shellfish (possibly in same batter)....I break out like crazy.

I am going to try the salt and if I don't itch, I know it doesn't affect me.
 
Re: Spices-MSGI sent her an email just as a heads up to warn her to check it out. She is very very allergic to shell fish and has mentioned that if she's even around it she could die. Thanks for the info.
