Trix

[Mindy35]

Yeah! I found the Trix cereal without wrbo, now the only thing I am worried about is cross contamination. What are your thoughts? The Trix cereal is the one that is 75% less sugar. I bought it at Safeway in Lodi, California.

Thanks

Only time will tell, I am sure the early boxes will have a much higher risk then down the road though...

Not to sound ungrateful, but we'd like to see a "grown up taste" cereal, low in sugar that's gluten-free and perhaps has corn or rice bran in it. Can't have nuts, and too much roughage, so those gorilla munches are out.

Maybe like a Crispix (rice/corn cereal) type or a Kix type of cereal.

Sorry, but the existance of trix does not disprove your craziness

Haha!! I found Coca Puffs last night here in MN! It does say more chocolatey taste and the copy right on the package under the ingredients is 2006. The exp date is Sept. I just ate a bowl and I will let you know how I feel today!!

Are you saying that Trix & Coco Puffs are gluten-free? Did they change the ingredients in some way to make them gluten-free? Please fill us in.

Thanks,

Kevin,

This is a change, Cocoa Puffs and Trix MIGHT be safe for us to eat. This is a NEW formula that has not hit all the stores yet. You HAVE to check the ingredinets on the boxes to see if you have the new formula yet. It seems to be boxes with and experiation date of STEPMBER 2006 or later that have the new formula.

There is some question bout CARMEL COLOR in cocoa puffs, but this is all still new and emerging information so be careful and treadwisly!

Are you sure that it does not contain wheat starch? I have a box with 75% less sugar, exp is sep 14 06, and the 4th ingredient from the last says wheat starch. I missed it at first, so i bought it. Just checking.

Vydor,

Thanks for the information. There is another post going on "Are they any real people cereal?" that is addressing the Coco Puff / Trix debate.

I hope Coco Puffs are gluten-free my kids eat them and now I can - hopefully. Kids haven't been tested yet. They have no symptoms and well be at their next Dr. visits

I too, hate "kid" cereal. I just don't like eating that much sugar, and if I am getting sugar, would much rather be enjoying a bag of M&M's.

Here's what I received today from GM in response to my question about the caramel color in the reformulated Cocoa Puffs possibly containing barley malt:

___________

Thank you for contacting General Mills concerning ingredients in our products. As manufacturers and consumers, we understand your concern about potential allergens in the foods you eat. Our primary goal is to provide accurate information; and we believe this is best accomplished by referring to the specific ingredients listed on each product package. This is the most current information for your needs.

If one of our products contains any of the top 8 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy products, eggs, soy, wheat, crustaceans, and fish) or if it contains sesame, sunflower or mollusks, that ingredient is always listed in the ingredient panel, and also in bold letters just below the list of ingredients. If a product is exposed to any of these allergens in the manufacturing facility the allergen will be listed in bold in the ‘Contains Statement’ just below the list of ingredients. This list is your ingredient assurance for that package. It is not intended for other packaging of the same product. Ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation. If you have allergy concerns, please read each package ingredient panel.

We hope this information helps you. You may also want to contact the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) at 1-800-929-4040, or visit their web site at www.foodallergy.org. Although they cannot provide specific ingredient information regarding a particular product, they are a good resource to help in the management of your allergies and sensitivities.

However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product’s ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.

We appreciate your interest. Please contact us again with any further questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Kristi Goodman

I ate that for 3 days straight in the morning. I didn't have any major symtoms. I hope you don't. Sorry.

SO THEN Trix are not gluten-free and its only Cocoa Puffs?

[Becky6]

I have not seen any gluten-free Trix as of yet. We have a box of the Coca puffs and so far so good! Neither me or Belle got sick!
