Are Strepsils Gluten Free?

Are Strepsils Gluten Free?

As we all do, we research to find out if a product is gluten free and only trust the legit websites, from the brand website themselves.

Well Guess Again!

I read on: http://www.strepsils.com.au/frequently_asked_questions.php :

"Are any of the Strepsils lozenges gluten free?"

The answer was:
"All Strepsils lozenges are gluten free"

After reading this, I went ahead and had one to fine I was violently sick after having just a few sucks on a lozenger.

On 7th January 2014 at 3:40pm, I rang Strepsils themselves and asked the question, are your Strepsils Original gluten free. The reply I got was no, they are not, only the Sugar free ones were.

So on 15th January I emailed them to find out the exact information seeing as there was a lot of conflicting information and to bring up the statement they posted on their website.

They replied to me today stating the following at 10:27am:

Dear Carah

Thankyou for your contact to us.

As you had been advised previously, the only Strepsils gluten free are the Sugar free branded packs.

Kind regards

So in conclusion, the only gluten free variety of Stepsils, are the sugar free branded packs.
Also remember, never trust websites to be 100% correct.

Always read the package and if they do not state Gluten Free, then give them a call!
