Question 1

why is this so expensive??  i usee to buy them $3-$5 each!

Accepted Answer

Thank you for reaching out to us about the price of our McCormick Culinary Pure Ground Black Pepper, 18 oz. We are working hard to keep prices fair based on our costs. Various components, such as ingredients, packaging materials, and transportation all impact the final cost of our products, and many of these costs are increasing due to inflation. While we sell our products to grocery stores and online sellers at a set price based on our costs, the actual price is determined by each individual seller.  We appreciate your feedback. ~JM

Question 2

How fine is it?

Accepted Answer

Not powder fine but fine enough to use in a typical pepper shaker. The course ground can not be used in a typical shaker as it’s too course to fit through the holes.

Question 3

Is this gluten free?

Accepted Answer

McCormick Pure Ground Black Pepper does not contain gluten. Gluten and gluten products, when present, will always be declared on the product label by the common name of the gluten source such as “barley”, “wheat”, “rye”, “oats” or “triticale”. If no ingredient statement appears on the product label, then the product is as it appears in the product name (e.g. black pepper). It is important that you read the ingredient statement on your package at the time of purchase to ensure accurate, up to date information, as product formulas may change. If any product has a Gluten-Free claim, the product and the manufacturing line has been validated Gluten-Free. McCormick takes the safety and quality of our products very seriously and you can be certain that we exercise the utmost care in the production and packaging of our products. Our employees are trained in the importance of correct labeling and the necessity of performing thorough equipment clean-up and change over procedures to minimize cross-contact of ingredients.  ~ Erica

Question 4

Does the lid of the 1 lb container have a spout to pore into shaker?

Accepted Answer

This particular product does not have a spout to pore into a shaker - the lid has two openings: one with small holes to use as a shaker, and the other with a large opening for pouring. We also sell McCormick Culinary Handy Fill Shaker Grind Black Pepper, 2 lbs on Amazon that has a spout for refilling shakers.
