Corn Pops - Ingredient Change

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. :angry: 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!

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
