Is this spice spicy (hot)??

No, Zatarain's Gumbo File is not spicy. ~ Erica

Is this roux gluten-free? I see wheat flour listed in the ingredients.

What are the measurements for making less than a full box

The 16oz box is the food service size, once prepared it yields approximately 26 (8oz) servings. If you are looking for smaller servings we can suggest the 4.5oz box of Zatarain's Gumbo Base. ~ Erica
