Does Weleda use Wheat Starch, and does this ingredient pose as an allergy concern?
A. Many of the Weleda tablets contain wheat starch in the quantity of no more than 25 mg per tablet. According to the German Celiac Disease Society, after the album fraction is washed out from the wheat flour, those products that contain less than .05% wheat starch, may be declared as gluten-free. Weleda also follows the European Remedies Book, which allows a maximum presence of wheat starch as .048. Therefore, according to the European Union, Switzerland and all other countries that follow this guideline, Weleda only produces tablets made with gluten-free wheat starch.
