We called Tylenol’s manufacturer (Kenvue) specifically about Tylenol Extra Strength 500 mg Caplets. They told us they cannot verify the source of starches and do not test for gluten, so they can’t confirm Tylenol is gluten-free. They recommend checking with your doctor before taking.

What The Manufacturer Stated:
“We cannot verify the source of the starches in our products, and we do not test our products for gluten. Because of this, we cannot confirm that our products are gluten-free. We recommend verifying with your doctor before taking.”
A Gluten Free Acetaminophen Alternative:
Try Genexa Acetaminophen. It is certified gluten free by GFCO. Always verify on the current product box or bottle as formulas can change.
