Question

Is Tums, the medicine for heartburn, kosher?

Answer

Dear inquirer, 

The kosher status depends on the flavor. Please see here for types that are kosher: https://www.star-k.org/resource/list/SXJYRZ4G/antacid 

Here is what we found: Smoothies Cocoa and Creme Tums Sugar Free EX Sugar Free Orange These are not defined as kosher. The following types are dairy: EX Fresh Blends, Cool Relief Cool Mint, Smoothies Assorted Fruit, Smoothies Cocoa & Creme, Lasting Effect Mint, and Lasting Effects Mixed Fruit
