I have a customer who wants to order some of our spices but she is not allowed to have wheat or gluten. With that said does anyone know which spices are ok and gluten free?

Does anyone have this issue?

Thanks for your suggestions!
 
There was a thread on here that I saved on my other computer. I don't want to quote without knowing for sure, but I'll look here.
 
I do know that the Moroccan Rub is not gluten free. It has Worcestershire (spelled that all wrong and I pronounce it even worse) sauce in it and that contains wheat. Who knew?
 
This is what someone received on 13 April 2007:(from HO) The vanilla and oils are Gluten Free.Our pantry spices are all Gluten-Free EXCEPT for Sweet & Smoky Barbecue
Rub & Asian Seasoning Mix.Please note that our spice vendor has strict sanitation procedures in
place to prevent cross-contamination. However, they do not test for
gluten presence. That being said, we cannot guarantee that there are no
trace elements of gluten in our other spice products.The Pampered Chef Test Kitchens
 
I just received the food list ingredients the other day. It was put together by Holly Zimora. I was shocked at how many items had wheat. My daughter has a severe peanut allergy. She eats products that were produced in a facility that processes peanuts. Her uncle has eaten "Little Debbies" for years and he has the same allergy. He is in food service, and was told the machinery must be sanitized for each new recipe. Most products have the disclaimer to protect the busineses from lawsuits.

Sadly, I don't know how to attach a document... so here it is:
