Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal

Hi, Can anyone confirm whether Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal is definitely gluten-free? I faxed them to ask if there is a chance of cross contamination (ie. whether they make their gluten-free cereal in the same facility that they make their gluten-containing cereal), but haven't heard back yet (I only faxed them yesterday, mind you). But, thought I'd ask. :)

Thanks.

Did you get an answer from them? I called almost a year ago and they said there could be x contam - not a gluten-free facility I think. My 3 year old son eats tons of it and is having a lot of problems and I keep wondering if its the cereal (hard to take it away , its his only cereal). There is a possiblity he has issues with rice itself too. I was tempted to send in a sample to get tested, but hate to spend the money if its really unlikely.

No, I haven't heard from them, yet. I think it's not good news. ;) I can't really determine whether it's bothering me, or not. I hope I don't have to give it up; but I'm detecting some nausea lately, and I'm not sure whether to pinpoint it to the cereal. I think I should give it up for awhile, and see how I feel - I had a feeling it was too good to be true since the cereal is so good.

I'm in Canada, and was wondering if in the U.S. they are supposed to label whether it's made in the same facility as other gluten-containing products. Since they told you there is a chance of cross contamination, it really makes me wonder how they can claim "Gluten-Free" right on the front of the box...

I guess I'll send a snail mail to them. Will let you know if I hear anything in the meantime, though. Please let me know if you find out anything. Thanks.

Hi, I bought the corn flakes and the rice puffs cereal last week. I gave them a call (after I got home) and they confirmed they do have a mixed facility. Also, they do run an oat product on one of the lines (I can't remember if it was the corn or rice line) Oats are a really bad deal for me. I gave both boxes away. Sorry if it is not what you wanted to hear. All the best, Mike

I eat the Rice Crisps with Berries all the time. In fact I ate it last night. I've never gotten sick from it.

My husband found an Oatie-O in one box of Crispy Brown Rice w/ Mixed Berries. Luckily he's the only one that eats that cereal and he's not Celiac or gluten intolerant. I would definitely use EXTREME caution when using this brand.

Yes! That was it (an Oatie O) I could not think of it! It really does seem to be different for all of us (how much CC and not get a reaction).

Gluten for me is bad enough, lasts about 5 days.....Oats and I am sick for weeks on end. All the best, Mike

That's what I needed to know... and it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but what can you do? :) I just wish they labelled their boxes about the cross-contamination possibility. Thanks very much, Mike.

Also, interesting to hear that the crispy rice w/berries doesn't bother you, jkmunchkin. And, that's unnerving about the oatie-o, Guhlia - I guess it's evident that cross-contamination can happen easily with that company. Thanks for all your replies.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
