Target Brand Drink gluten-free? Sim. To Pediasure?

[KierasMom]

Just curious if anyone has done the research on this one. My daughter is still taking 1-2 of the Pediasure type drinks and they are EXPENSIVE!! We've found several store or generic brands around here that ARE gluten free - Stop & Shop, Walgreens "Bright Beginnings." Generally they say right on the label.

The Target brand product (in vanilla flavor) has ALL the same ingredients and nutrient values as the other brands. It just doesn't SAY Gluten Free. It does say lactose free.

I am going to call tomorrow. I just thought I would ask here in case someone else already knew! Thanks a bunch!

It's always best to call the manufacturer first. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA and so ingredients (and what those ingredients are made from) can vary from batch to batch, factory to factory. It's frustrating having to call each time you buy a new batch, but sometimes is necessary unless they'll guarantee you it is gluten-free ALL of the time.
