Drugs...no, not that kind!

Hi y'all,

Just a quick post about the nice Western Family group.... Usually people who know of the The Western Family brand, think of generic, modestly priced food items, such as canned beans, frozen juices or bags of rice. But today I'm talking about their over the counter medications.

The other day, I was in my local Cd'A Super 1 grocery store, (who has a fantastic Gluten Free section) looking for some childrens Tylenol when the Western Family brand, "comparable to Tylenol" caught my eye.

Why, you ask? Because on their packaging, it clearly states "Gluten Free"! I was shocked. A generic company who packages ALL KINDS of items, takes the time to print whether their OTC drugs were gluten free? Unheard of!

Major brands don't even do that! I randomly checked the other kinds of medications Western Family had on the shelves, and most of them stated "Gluten Free". But then I wondered, if the FDA has not put restrictions on what can be labeled "gluten free" and what can't yet, how do I know if I can trust this?

Well, thats a whole 'nother posting... BUT for now, I saw that not all their products were labeled gluten free, but were sporting the new label design.

Thanks Western Family for going that extra step. It makes my life a little bit easier, and I've had no reactions to any of the Western Family "gluten free" OTC's I've tried.

Have a great pain-allergy-sinus relief kind of day, everyone!
