TOOTHPASTES, MOUTHWASHES & DENTAL FLOSS

Toothpaste is not food nor is it edible and according to many authorities does not need to be kosher. Therefore while not normally recommending ingredient listing as a means of determining the kashrut of a product, in the case of those wishing to be strict in regards to toothpaste it would be acceptable to rely on the ingredient listing. Current practice is that both active and inactive ingredients are now listed on toothpaste containers. The two main ingredients in toothpaste manufacture are either glycerine (glycerol) or sorbitol. Glycerine in Australia is usually not kosher whereas sorbitol is kosher. If glycerine is listed as an ingredient then those wishing to be strict would not use that toothpaste. However if sorbitol is the primary ingredient and glycerine is not mentioned then the product would be acceptable even for those wishing to be strict.
