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!

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption. 
    • trents
      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
    • Churro
      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.
