It is necessary to determine if Elmer's glue contains any wheat, due to a student that is extremely allergic.?

hello science teacher, missed you being aroind

Elmers is proported to contain wheat product (or by product) howver i cant confirm tha as the formula is proprietry

i did find a site by a celiacs support group mentioning elmers specifically

this site provides all safety info along with safety info

as far as I know elmers school glue is made entirely from synthetic chemicals derived manily from the petrolium industry. so it should not be a problem. Obviously this child needs to be monitored closely and if in any doubt find a safe alternative activity for the student.e.g logge d on to the computer recording class results or other useful activity

call poison control and ask them. Because Elmer's glue to my knowledge is wheat flour
