Whole Foods 365 Crispy Rice?

[GeoffCJ]

It does not appear on their gluten free list.

The Allergy warning doesn't mention wheat. Even in the statement about good manufacturing processes.

Ingredient list:

Rice, Cane juice crystals, Salt, Caramel Color, Ascorbic Acid, Reduced Iron

,Niacinamide, Vitamin A Palmitate, Pyridoxine Hydropchloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D

Should I be worried? I'm trying to get this label thing figured out, and this one confuses me. I see nothing that sets off warning bells, but it's not on their list, and gluten free isn't on the box. Many other 365 products mention Gluten free

Looks okay to me. Maybe the list isn't updated ... plus, I don't think they are always complete.

Oh Sorry. It was obvious to me, since the box is right in front of me!

It's the cereal.

I wondered about that one too. It was my first trip to Whole Foods and I was a little overwhelmed. I was after granola bars and bread. I don't eat a lot of cold cereal. I'm more of a snacker when I get to work. I'm hoping you stumbled on to a great find.

Well, I just ate a bowl. Let's hope I don't get sick, because it sure wouldn't be worth it. These things are gross!

ugh.

Another GFGF.

(gluten free gross food)

Well I hope they are gluten-free. You can always make rice krispie treats. Maybe they will be good for that.

Then maybe it will be a GFGF (gluten free good food!!!!)

Geoff,

Would you mind elaborating a little as I was considering getting some? Not crispy enough? Not sweet enough? Did you eat them in a bowl with real milk? Thanks,

best regards, lm

Sure. Texture was weird. The got this weird slimy texture to them, with little spots of crunchy. Not just soggy, but slimy. They stick to my teeth and get stuck in my molars. It's like they are forming glue in my mouth. UGH.

And they taste bad too. Hard to describe, but they taste like licking stamps. I think they are going in the trash. I've definately wasted some money figuring out what gluten free stuff is worth eating. I threw out some bread 2 days ago.

I did eat them with real 1% milk.

I love the Wholefoods 365 Rice crackers, especially the seaweed ones!

I have a gluten free list from the new WF store that opened last week in Birmingham, Alabama and it does list 365 crispy rice cereal on their gluten-free list.

It's gluten free. My dad just started eating them for breakfast. He likes them. I haven't tried them yet. I think he does add bananas and perhaps sugar with his cereal. And of course the milk.
