Does anyone know if Cocoa Krispies are gluten free? I read the label and it lists "Malt Flavoring" I assume that's not ok. But does anyone know forsure ???

Thanks,

Sarah

Malt comes from barley, so it's definitley a nono, sorry....

Cocoa pebbles are gluten-free though! :)

Is this true? Cocoa pebbles are really gluten-free? There is really a mainstream junk food cereal that is gluten-free? I didn't know that! I am so excited!

Thank you!

I have a serious texture issues when it comes to cereal! Since childhood, I'm 42 now, I've loved Cocoa Krispies and I don't gag on them like most cereals. I was thrilled that Chex is gluten-free, but I gag after a few bites. My husband came home tonight with a box of fruity pebbles and and as always I went to read the ingredient list. He took the box from me and turned it around to expose the big GLUTEN FREE tag. You would've thought I was 5 yrs old! Fruity pebbles is the other cereal I can eat without gagging!! Hopefully Cocoa Krispies becomes gluten-free soon since I'm not too fond of the taste of Cocoa Pebbles.

Welcome Lisa :)

You may want to try Envirokidz Kaola Crisp Cereal. The cocoa flavor is more mild than some of the other chocolate cereals, but does have a similar texture to rice crispies - might be worth a shot.

Also, just so you know - you are replying to an old thread - the original poster hasn't logged in for six years and is not likely to see your response.

Thank you! I think I'll give the Envirkidz a try! My problem is when a cereal becomes soggy quick. I'm not a huge cereal eater, but it nice to have one for the occasional craving.

Thanks for the heads up on this being an old post; I noticed that before replying but thought if someone else stumbled across this topic when using google as I did that it might help. Obviously I'm new to the site and so far absolutely loving it :-)!!!!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
