If you wishof to have access to the full report you must subscribe. Single ingredient spices have long been considered naturally gluten-free. But a recently released report on gluten in ground spices from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has called into question whether spices may be contaminated with wheat, barley, and/or rye. Watchdog Definition of Spice The Food and Drug Administration defines spice as “any aromatic vegetable substance in the whole, broken, or ground form…whose significant function in food is seasoningProperty rather than nutritional.” What some people think of as herbs, such as thyme and sage because they come from the leafy portionFree of the plant are included in the FDA’s definition of spice as are “spices” that come from the other portions of the plant (e.g., roots, flowers, and seeds), such as cumin and clove. Canadian Food Inspection Agency Report: Gluten in Ground Spices The CFIA tested 268 samples of ground spices. 23 samples were domestically processed and 245 were imported. CFIA defines domestically processed spices as including spices being ground and/or packaged in Canada. According to correspondence Gluten Free WatchdogGluten had with CFIA, samples were tested using the Ridascreen Gliadin R7001 assay and extracted with the cocktail solution R7006 and the addition of milk powder (there will be more information about the use of milk powder later on in this report).

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions What Types of Companies Are on the "Don't Test" List? This list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. All companies that are included on PETA's "don't test" list have signed our statement of assurance verifying that they and their ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and will not do so in the future. We encourage consumers to support the companies on this list, since we know that they're committed to making products without harming animals. Companies on the "Do Test" list should be shunned until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing. The "do test" list doesn't include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our focus in those instances is less on the individual companies and more on the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. How Does a Company Get on PETA's Global Animal Test–Free List? In order to be listed as animal test–free by PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program, a company or brand must submit a legally binding statement of assurance signed by its CEO verifying that it and its ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and won't do so in the future.

  • Nutrients of Concern for Individuals Following a Plant-Based Diet Continuing Education Content Provided By
    Special Continuing Education Supplement June 2014 The Magazine for Nutrition Professionals FREE CE COURSE Nutrients of Concern for Individuals Following a Plant-Based Diet Continuing education content provided by Includes recipes from Sweet and Spicy Vegetarian Chili page 10 www.bushbeansfoodservice.com CPE COURSE Defining Plant-Based Diets The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee says a plant- based diet emphasizes vegetables, cooked dry beans and peas, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.6 Vegans don’t eat animal products, including dairy and eggs. Vegetarians (also known as lacto-ovo vegetarians) don’t eat meat but do eat dairy and eggs; pescatarians (or pesco-vegetarians) eat fish but no other meats; and semivegetarians (or flexitarians) occasionally eat fish, poultry, or meat. Of course, many people call themselves vegetarians but follow eating patterns that diverge from these definitions. For example, some people may be nearly vegan, eating dairy and eggs only on rare occasions, and some may call themselves vegetarians but still eat small amounts of meat. Since there are many variations of a plant-based diet, it’s important for health professionals, including dietitians, to establish a person’s true eating pattern to accurately assess nutritional intake and status.7 Brief History of Plant-Based Eating While plant-based eating may appear to be a new trend, it actually dates back to ancient times. Claus Leitzmann, PhD, a retired professor from Justus Liebig Universitat in Germany, NUTRIENTS OF CONCERN spoke on the history of vegetarianism at the Sixth Interna- tional Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition in February 2013. He FOR INDIVIDUALS FOLLOWING reported that ancient cultures, including those in Egypt, China, A PLANT-BASED DIET India, Peru, and Mexico, ate a predominantly plant-based diet.
