I'm checking the ingredients in Halls and they list isomalt as an ingredient. I know that malt is gluten but is isomalt??

thanks

Rachel

Isomalt is a sweetener and does not contain malt. It is gluten-free.

Yes! They are gluten free. I am always nervous about "natural"...themed products, like Halls natural (im always scared they will have gluten in there), so i personally stay away from those types of flavors. But technically yes-- they have said their products are gluten-free. Feel better!

A July 2018 "verywellfit" article states they aren't (or at least may not be), after asking the manufacturer: https://www.verywellfit.com/gluten-free-cough-drops-562381

I have been using the Halls sugar free honey lemon cough drops for years and have never had any kind of issue with them. My blood work is always stellar and I am a very sensitive Celiac who does not play Russian Roulette with my food.  The review just sounds like the usual disclaimer written by a company who doesn't want to get sued.  I consider them safe.

They are made in the same factory as oreos and cadbury chocolate so they say it’s not gluten free due to the possibility of cross contamination, so no, i wouldn’t just tell everyone it’s completely safe.

www.verywellfit.com states, “Halls are not gluten-free. This well-known brand is a subsidiary of Mondelez International, a huge multinational snack company that makes such products as Oreos cookies and Cadbury chocolate bars.Sep 29, 2021”

It seems they are doing the CYA here, which is unfortunate, as they cough drops don't contain any gluten ingredients, and don't list wheat as an allergen:

Isomalt is a sugar substitute that is commonly used in sugar-free and low-calorie products, including some flavors of Halls cough drops. Fortunately, isomalt is gluten-free, so it should be safe for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to consume.

I've been using zinc gluconate lozenges (Cold-Eeze) and have not had a cold or sinus infection since starting in 2004.  Until then I had two or three a year, almost like on schedule.

I agree with this comment, cross contamination is a big deal, especially if you have celiac disease. No company’s products that you are buying should have cross-contamination to be safe. I don’t take risks and if a company cannot assure me from either contacting them or their website that they are gluten-free, then I will not consume the product, it’s best to play it safe rather than take a chance if you’re uncertain , I would look for one that is certified if you can find one or try a different company that says they don’t have cross contamination.

Sorry, I meant to say are use Sensodyne toothpaste it is for sensitivity it is gluten-free but I cannot comment about other brands because I do not use other brands. Maybe someone else can comment an update with other brands they use that are gluten-free.

I also recommend that you use plain unflavoured to floss or a brand that is certified gluten-free, because there can be gluten in the flavourings I found
