Dora The Explorer Cereal

Recommended Posts

I know there was a thread on here recently about Dora the Explorer Cereal. I thought it said it was gluten free and I have shopped all over town to find it. I finally found a box today and called General Mills and spoke with 2 uninformed individuals. They will not guarantee this cereal is gluten free. They will not guarantee any of their cereals are gluten free due to cross contamination. They didn't seem to know anything about gluten. It was rather disappointing. Just thought you may want to know. :unsure:

Several of us have sent e-mails to General Mills asking about Cocoa Puffs.

I guess I need to send an e-mail about Dora Cereal now too.

This is so frustrating.....

I read somewhere, maybe the Delphi list?, that Dora was gluten free. As I said, I am not sure where I read it, but I did see it somewhere as gluten free.

I too thought it was gluten-free....

I have read that plenty of people on here have eaten it without issue, so I would guess that it's ok. I also called General Mills back when I first found this cereal and they told me that they don't hide any ingredients and that the lines are well washed between runs. My kids have been eating it for a long time now and haven't had a problem.

You can see the list of it's ingrediants on the General Mills website. Looking at that, it appears to be gluten free, but I am sure they will not say it's gluten free due to cross contamination, so they are not held liable if someone gets sick from it.

my daughter eats the Dora cereal and she's highly sensitive and has had no reactions to it.

I eat Dora everyday with no problems. I check the box everytime I buy it just to make sure they don't change it. I pray they don't!

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
