General Mills Pulls Plug on Gluten-free Chex Oatmeal

I tried this stuff once, but couldn't even finish it. I'm surprised they found room for oats in there amongst all the sugar.

Isn't the best time of year for oatmeal, coming shortly? Bet the sales would have been lots higher in October thru the winter!

I have never tried gluten-free Chex oatmeal, but I am excited for gluten-free Cheerios! Yum!

I never had a problem with the Gluten Free Oatmeal and found it quite handy to fix. 2 minutes in the microwave. I have tried the gluten-free Cherrios at a big risk and after reading up on them will skip them for some time until they get their act together.

A couple of years ago, after eating their gluten-free cereals for a couple of years with no problem, I was badly glutened by a bowl of Rice Chex. I couldn't believe it, so the next morning I ate it again on an empty stomach and immediately became symptomatic. There was no doubt, I know what happens to my body when gluten is ingested.

So, I wrote them and told them what happened to me. Their response was less than ideal. It sounded like I was communicating with a call-taker/secretary who had very little idea what I was talking about. It was pretty shocking. We had several back and forth emails without any satisfaction that finally culminated in my giving up after receiving this question from General Mills regarding their gluten free cereal - "Well, what kind of gluten CAN you eat?"

I was very pleased originally to hear that Cheerios were now gluten-free. However, upon reading my first box info, I couldn't help but wonder how they are dealing with possible cross-contamination?

I never knew it existed. My local grocery store stocks a few gluten-free brands. I suppose the other gluten-free Chex cereals took all the allocated shelf space.

I can never find it at our stores. Maybe if they advertised it on more shelves it would sell better? I love this oatmeal and will miss it.

Everyone contact the company to bring it back and promote it better!

It made me sick. I have verified celiac and couldn't eat this product. Good thing it was pulled from the market. I don't believe it is coincidence that it was pulled right as companies are having to prove advertised gluten-free products are actually gluten free.

I tried the Chex gluten-free instant oatmeal and it was a bit too sweet for my tastes. Natures Path makes a better one, but it's a little more expensive. Bob's Red Mill Makes an excellent gluten-free oatmeal for the stove top.

I agree - a little too sweet, but loved the few ingredients in them. Nervous about the ppm issue. Will try Natures Path.

Have not had any problems with this hot oatmeal cereal. It is great and if it is to be discontinued I'm going out to buy all I can get before it is gone.

I'm very disappointed! These were amazing and affordable !
