Do oil vegan probiotic drop need heksher?

Question:

My toddler has been struggling with a sensitive stomach and I was recommended a brand of probiotics that is not kosher certified but was told that should be okay because it might fall in category of medicinal and is plant based. The product name is BioGaia: this are the ingredients Sunflower oil, medium chain triglyceride oil and vitamin E.

Non-GMO ingredients, no artificial colors, flavors, dairy, soy or gluten.
This is an unflavored products probiotic oil drops. I was hoping of adding it to his milk or mixing with food so it’s easier for my toddler to consume it.

Thank you for your help I’m advance!

 

Answer:

Hello,

Iasked your question to a kashrus professional, and he advised that you get a preperation that doesn’t have medium chain triglyceride oil.

Best wishes
