Hi..

I am looking up the gf status of claritin reditabs. Mannitol is listed
as one of the ingredients. Through web-surfing I come up with d-mannose
and d-fructose as ingredients used in making mannitol. I found this website :

http://www.rpi.edu/dept/chem-eng/Biotech-Environ/IMMOB/poppezz/hfcs.html

which lists possible nitrogen sources for glucose, which include malt
extract and distillers solubles (that one sounds scary), and that
fructose is derived from glucose! I thought fructose was a fruit sugar!
Fructose is listed as gf on several sites.

Does anyone have any ideas?

 How are the gf lists derived? Do we need the services of a
molecular chemist to decide what we can eat?

thanks,
