Cocoa Puffs Now Contain Wheat!

We got a new box of cocoa puffs the other day, and didn't notice until we got home that they now contain wheat! :angry::angry:

They did label the box properly acording to the new regulations. They even put a small box under the ingredients in bright blue background with white letters (in contrast with the brown/white box) that indicated that change, and caught our attention well as it started with ATTENTION ALLERGIC CONSUMERS

Be warned, always check your labels every time, even on the brands you know are OK becuase things always change!!

My understanding is that cocoa pebbles are still safe.

As far as the cocoa puffs are concerned they were unsafe, then the formula changed and they were safe and then yet another change and they are unsfe again! :huh: Just goes to show that we need to read every label, I learned this the hard way!

Oh man, that sucks =(

i don't know, i had to give up cocoapuffs when i went gluten free too (I gave them to the dog, it was a sad day :0).

It was because of the maltodextrin... could that be why they added the celiacs beware to their label? I know maltodextrin contains gluten, maybe it contains wheat too....

hmmm...

:unsure:

Maltodextrin is safe. It contains no gluten or wheat.

My understanding is that maltodextrin while sounding dangerous is actually gluten-free in the US. I believe they started adding wheat flour to the cereal?

Maltodextrin is safe. It is not a source of gluten.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By RMJ · Posted

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
