Trix Cereal

I found the newer Trix cereal without gluten and bought it last night, along with the newer Cocoa Puffs. I held the box for a good hour debating with my huband why we shouldn't buy it. He won. I brought it home, and the only other times I'd seen my son this excited is during Christmas and his birthday. He literally ate half the box, while I cringed. I thought, well, what the heck. This poor kid doesn't even eat out anymore, I'll give this a try. It was great! No problems.

So this morning I decided to call General Mills to discuss the cc issue everyone was worrying about. They assured me that they clean their production lines REALLY WELL because they need to ensure that people aren't getting any of the major allergens in their food. So I'm not so worried anymore. I know barley, oats and rye aren't considered major allergens, but if they clean their lines really well for wheat, milk, peanuts, etc., and they aren't adding any wheat, barley, oats or rye to this cereal, then I must conclude that it's safe for our consumption! :)

I am so mad.....I am so sensitive to gluten I have tryed trix and I always get sick <_<

This really s*cks

But I am glad to hear that your son has no problems.

Acutally it was pretty funny, the one morning that I tyred eating it, my little brother sat down and asked if he could have some. So I gave him some. Well, I got sick and ended up giving him the entire box. He was so excited that I gave him a box of cereal. It was so cute :)

Thanks for checking on this...I'll have to buy some Trix for my daughter. I just bought some Fruity Pebbles (but that's not GM is it?) and my kids were so excited.

It's funny that we used to be such "healthy" eaters - no sugar cereals in our house, and only whole wheat breads and we ended up sick. Now we have to eat sugar cereals and white (tapioca) bread to stay well!!

Go figure!!

We have not tired the trix yet, but Cocoa Puffs, Fuirty Pebbls, and Cocoa Pebbles all seem fine with my son so far...

are you sure it was the NEW trix? I haven't been able to find the NEW trix in any of my local grocery stores yet. They still have the old boxes that still have wheat starch in them.

yup yup i checked and double checked and then checked again. then my boyfriend checked and he double checked and then checked again.

Then my mom did also. Maybe I am just to sensitive.

But I live in Miller Place on Long Island and purchased both boxes at a Stop and Shop. They have them here. That stinks that they dont have it by you yet. Sorry

This may be kind of a silly question, but why are NEW Trix gluten-free and corn pops are not?

Are they not both the same thing?

Just curious.

minibabe - There's a chance you're allergic to the food dye. A cereal like Trix has a lot of food dye in it, more than you get with most food. So that could be causing a problem.

Nope.

Corn pops are made by Kellogs not General Mills so forumal chnages as GM would not effect them.

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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      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 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.
