Hello everyone, I thought I would pass this information on because, when I 
looked for GF info on the archives here for Fisherman's Friend cough 
lozenges, I found the info outdated (1998).  Since then, the ingredient list 
now contains unspecified 'dextrin' and since they are manufactured overseas, 
and since I'd had symptoms, I thought I'd investigate.  I'm happy to say 
that they ARE gluten-free still.  The dextrin is derived from tapioca - see 
below. ~D

Subject: FW: FISHERMAN'S FRIEND - GLUTEN FREE INFORMATION

Dear Dawn,

Thanks for your questions to the Fisherman’s Friend website which were 
forwarded to our attention as the Canadian distributor this morning.

In answer to your questions:

1)       All Fisherman’s Friend throat lozenges are 100% gluten free. They 
do not contain and none of their ingredients are derived from any wheat, 
rye, oat, barley or similar gluten containing ingredients.

2)       The crystal gum (dextrin) ingredient contained in some of the 
lozenges is sourced from tapioca starch and is not sourced from wheat.

Yours truly,

Stewart Schneider
