The main objective of the gluten in ground spices survey was to obtain baseline information regarding the presence and levels of gluten in ground spices and to identify potential food safety concerns relating to gluten in ground spices. A total of 268 ground spices, consisting of a single spice, were sampled and analyzed for the presence of gluten. Of the 268 samples analyzed, 63 samples (24%) contained detectable levels of gluten ranging from 5 ppm to 20,000 ppm. The majority, 62, of these samples had a level of gluten that would not pose a risk to a sensitive individual. One sample of mace was determined to be in violation of the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and was recalled.
