Corn Pops - Ingredient Change

[mobame]

Corn pops cereal has changed their formula. I found this out by random coincidence, and luckily did not get sick first. The new boxes, which have Spiderman 2 on the label, contain wheat starch. There is no indication on the box cover that they have changed the recipe. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, as my dietician had told me corn pops are the only gluten-free cereal the major brands make (other than puffed rice) so I figure a lot of celiac people probably eat them. darn those kellog's people.

Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Puffs are also gluten-free. They started adding wheat starch in January of 2004.

The dietician should be more careful to check on cross-contamination issues--Corn Pops never were 100% gluten-free according to the person I spoke to there in summer 2003, who told me they were quite possibly cross-contaminated with gluten even though they didn't specifically add gluten to the product.

I was confused by Molly's post about Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. She says they are gluten-free, but then says they started adding wheat starch in January.

Anyway, a quick look at the boxes shows no wheat starch listed, and these are Kraft products so any wheat starch would be clearly listed. These cereals are still gluten-free, although I assume they are made in a facility with lots of gluten.

Hi!

Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are safe! They never contained anything that was wheat related!

Pops were the one where wheat was added in January. Just to clear the air.

I am glad to hear that fruity/cocoa pebbles are gluten-free. I am new at this and was wondering if the carmel color is safe. I have noticed it in this product and many others. Thanks for any advise!

Sorry I worded that wrong they started adding wheat starch to corn pops in january. Pruity penbbles and Cocoa Pebbles are still gluten-free
