I got this info from Nature Made re their Calburst Chews.  As Phyllis wrote,
the product is gluten free.

The bad news, however, is that they do contain corn products.  The even "badder"
news is that they are changing their formula in the new year and the product
will soon also contain milk products. So, any celiacs who are also sensitive
to either or both corn and lactose, are out of luck with this product.

There is good news too. They have realized the error of not listing non-
medicinal ingredients on the package and the packaging is being changed.
And, other than the corn & addition of lactose, the product will still
be gluten free.

The ingredients listed for Calburst Chews on the Nature Made web-site were also
incorrect and I was told that that was being corrected, as well.

Personally, I think there are way better ways to get my calcium needs met.

The company's phone # is 1-888-898-1151 and they can be reached by e-mail at
http://can.naturemade.com or through www.vitamin.com
