Spices Authenticity Summary Data

Canadian Food Inspection Agency collects samples of spices to verify accurate representation. The samples of spices are tested for the presence of fillers (such as wheat (gluten) and nut shells (peanut and almond)) and undeclared additives used to enhance their apparent value (such as colouring agents (colours, dyes and lead chromate)).
