What The Manufacturer Stated:
"We understand how challenging it can be for those with sensitivities to find suitable products, and we want to assure you that all of our Claritin formulas are free from added gluten.
Bayer adheres to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations to assure the identity, strength, quality, and purity of products. The FDA enforces CGMP regulations to help prevent instances of contamination, mix-ups, deviations, failures and errors. This assures the proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.
Claritin is formulated without gluten but we do not do testing at the end. We cannot claim that they are gluten free.”
