General Mills is reformulating their rice chex cereal. They are taking out the barley malt syrup and replacing it with molasses. They are also going to be producing the rice chex cereal in a dedicated facility! The new boxes say "gluten free" on them. Be careful when you shop because some of the old non gluten free formula boxes are still on shelves in stores. YUM!

Great to hear about Rice Chex now being Gluten-Free. I've already been through two boxes.

I wonder if they could also reformulate Corn Chex?

I did call General Mills regarding the Rice Chex to see if the product is tested and if they have a definition of Gluten-Free.

They did not want to provide any information regarding Testing or Parts Per Million and only indicated that Gluten-Free means zero gluten.

Personally, I would feel very safe with this product.

Finally found some last week at my local Walmart. Now they're out of it. Luckily I got the last two boxes. At long last, real cereal!

I finally remembered to write that email to General Mills to say thank you for the reformulation. I am loving buying cereal at the grocery store! Here is the link if you'd like to thank them too:

I also sent General Mills a Thank You.

In addition, I said that I would also buy any of their Corn based cereals if they could also be made Gluten Free.

Let's hope they are considering that possibility.
