Ricola

[Jherm21]

Are original or berry ricolas cough drops good to go? I didn't see the bag said anything about gluten-free and there were two ingredients that I was unsure about, the starch syrup and the Carmel flavoring.

I have had three different flavors of Ricola cough drops this week with no problem other than a possible sugar headache from so many of them.  It could just be a sick headache though.

Great so they are safe! Good because I bought a bag and jab been suffering with a sore throat so this will definitely soothe it. Thanks!

I have a question about the starch syrup on the website. I just sucked on a ricola and am scared because I read this what does this mean.

Wheat starch can be gluten-free.  The amount in a cough drop is very very small.

So that means 20ppm or less for the cough drop? So it is safe? Does anyone know of any other cough drops?
