Question 1

The container was only just over half full. Is that normal for powdered spices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is normal for powdered spices. We take the product photography when it comes right off the production line. During transportation, the powdered herbs and spices tend to get packed down - making it appear less full, while it's still the same amount of product noted on the package.

Question 2

Will this onion powder come out of a salt shaker?

Accepted Answer

Hello Georgia SunYes you can use this from a shaker as the container has a shaker/spoon top.  Be aware this is a powder, and is not granulated so it will not pour like salt, but like baby powder.  If you place this in a shaker I recommend you use wax paper, or saran wrap to cover the opening.  The moisture in the air may make it clump.  I keep the protective lid intact and spoon it out.  I hope this helps.

Question 3

is this certified gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,
McCormick Culinary Ground Onion Powder is formulated without gluten. McCormick® will always declare gluten ingredients on our label in the ingredients statement. Gluten is listed as "wheat", "barley", “rye”, “oats”, “spelt”, “triticale”, “kamut” or any protein containing part thereof and hybridized strains of these grains in our ingredient statements. If no ingredient statement appears on the product label, then the product is as it appears in the product name (e.g. black pepper). Gluten will never be hidden under the notations of "spices" or "natural flavors". We encourage you to read the ingredients statement on your package at the time of purchase to ensure accurate, up to date information. If any product has a Gluten Free claim, the product and the manufacturing line has been validated Gluten Free. ~ Erica

Question 4

How much sugar is in this onion powder

Accepted Answer

The container doesn't state ingredients which would lead me to believe its pure onion. It is ever so slightly sweet but almost imperceptible under the onion taste. Just know, it is absoLUTEly powder, as in dust-like, so much so that when you use it, quite a bit becomes airborne. For that reason I wouldn't buy this again.
