5 Replies to “What Cereals Are Gluten Free?”

  1. I truly and sincerely do not think that the gluten free Rice Krispies are nearly as good as the regular. They taste very very bland without the malt and I don’t think they did the right changes to make them taste the same. I’m guessing that this is why they we’re discontinued in the US

  2. They may be safe for those on a gluten free diet, but not necessarily for those with Celiac Disease. Big difference for those who need a certified gluten free cereal.

  3. General Mills and Kelloggs both have cereals that are labeled gluten free and are not. BHT and BHA are additives that the FDA does not have to classify as gluten when in fact they are and they are in all of these cereals. Cheerios, Chex and Rice Crispies are not in fact Gluten Free despite the label.
