Question 2

Is this cayenne pepper gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Hey there,

Thank you for your question. No, our Frontier Organic Ground Cayenne Pepper is not tested to be gluten free. While spices and herbs are naturally gluten-free, we do not test for gluten in all products, only those certified gluten-free (by GFCO) under the Simply Organic brand. We don't make gluten-free claims for any other products because even tiny amounts of gluten can be a problem, and these may be present in our facility or the facilities of our suppliers.

Question 4

Is this 3rd party tested for heavy metals?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. At Frontier, we strive to ensure that our products meet all regulatory requirements as well as our high internal quality specifications and, of course, the expectations that our customers have come to expect from Frontier products. This product is tested for heavy metals, including lead. Additionally, we also assess the sensory profile, microbiological status and chemical analysis to confirm quality and authenticity.

Although there is no specific FDA standard for lead in food, based on the FDA's guidance documents, we require all food ingredients to contain less than 1 part per million (ppm) lead. Lead is a ubiquitous compound that occurs widely in the environment and consequently can be found at some level in almost all food products. Frontier conducts its own independent sampling and testing of products we receive from our suppliers. Please let us know if you have any further questions! see less
