Trader Joe's Honey Nut O's

[home-based-mom]

My daughter grew up eating almost nothing but Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast. To her, that *is* breakfast.

Even though she has few symptoms, because we have a blood relative with a confirmed Celiac diagnosis (my cousin) I suggested she eat as little gluten as possible. She is willing to do this as she agrees she feels better, even though she didn't feel all that bad in the first place. It helps that she has a couple of friends who must eat gluten free, so she doesn't feel like a freak - she has others her age like her.

Anyway, I know that a lot of people don't even dare eat products made on shared equipment, but if you are not that sensitive and are looking for a replacement for Honey Nut Cheerios, Trader Joe's Honey Nut O's does not contain that dreaded barley malt that eliminates so many other cereals. My daughter has been eating them with no problems.

I assume that this cereal has oats? The oats may have been subject to cross-contamination in the harvesting/milling process.

Oats is the first ingredient and does contain the potential for cc, as does the shared equipment. I just posted this info for those who are not so sensitive in case they were interested in trying something readily available and resembling a mainstream product.

I wouldn't dare eat oats. There is too much cc there.
