TUMS® Antacid Basics

    TUMS®  Regular Strength 500: .75gm

  • Are TUMS® products Kosher?

    All TUMS® products (with the exception of Chewy Delights® and Chewy Bites®) are Kosher Pareve. The ingredients of all TUMS® Smoothies™ varieties were changed years ago so that they are Kosher Pareve. Chewy Delights® are Kosher Dairy. Chewy Bites® are not Kosher at all. TUMS® products receive a Kosher Certificate from Diamond-K Supervision. See front label to determine the Kosher status of the product you have selected.

  • Can TUMS® antacids be taken by people who cannot tolerate dairy products?

    Yes, with a few exceptions. The flavoring in TUMS® Smoothies™ Assorted Fruit tablets contains dairy. If your milk allergies are very serious or life-threatening, you should consult your doctor before using any TUMS® products. Although we have cleaning procedures in place, we cannot guarantee that some small trace of the Smoothies Assorted Fruit flavors would not be present in the other flavors.

  • Are TUMS® antacids bottles recyclable?

    TUMS® bottles are made from polypropylene and they have a #5 recycle on the bottom. Check to see if they can be recycled in your municipality.
