Lucky Charms

Has anyone been glutened by eating Lucky Charms?

Hi @Buckeyegal1, Welcome to the forum.

According to Lucky Charms the product has less than 20 ppm gluten. Some people are more sensitive though and there is the possibility that you are reacting to something else in the cereal or that you ate around the same time. They have several products so If you don't mind my asking, why the question?

It also depends on the exact product. Lucky Charms S’mores for example says it contains wheat. the info below is for Lucky Charms Magic Gems which is gluten free.

First, we check the oats after sifting to make sure they contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten.

Then, we check it again after the oats are milled into flour. We always ship the flour to our plants in our fleet of dedicated gluten-free trucks and rail cars. Lucky Charms Gluten Free Original
