New Kix Formula -- Without Oats!

Has anybody seen these? There was only one box on the shelf, and I bought it. There are no "Gluten-Free" claims on the box, like there are with Rice Chex; I presume it's still made in the same factories as other cereals.

The ingredients are:

CORN MEAL, WHOLE GRAIN CORN, SUGAR, CORN BRAN, SALT, BROWN SUGAR SYRUP,

TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE, VITAMIN E (MIXED TOCOPHEROLS) ADDED TO PRESERVE

FRESHNESS.

After that, they list all the vitamins.

The box was completely redesigned, which is what made me notice it and pick it up to read the ingredients. They still had a bunch of the old Kix on the shelf, with the oat flour included.

I can't find anything on the General Mills website about this new version of Kix. All the info still only covers the old version. There are no press releases or advertisements of this new formula with the "Great NEW Taste" as it says on the box!

I haven't opened my box yet to try it.

Forget the kids being excited over this, I am thrilled! I used to absolutely love Lucky Charms. These look very promising.......it sure is nice to have a splurgy, junk food breakfast every now and then on a lazy Saturday morning. Thanks for heads up!

I have to say that I love General Mills! :lol: I just wish that I could find these cereals on the West Coast. We've never even seen Berry Kix in the grocery store.

:D Wow! I don't even bother to look for stuff like this anymore. I'm going to check this stuff out.

Who would have thought it? Cereal and several weight watchers frozen dinners are gluten-free too. I found the weight watchers stuff a few months ago.

How come when you email general mills they can't tell you if they are gluten free or not? I emailed them last week about the honey kix and the berry berry kix and they emailed back but never said they were gluten free???? Anyone know why they can't just specify if they are or not? Thanks for any help....

Keep us all informed if you know anything :)

General Mills is one of the companies that disclose all gluten sources on their ingredients list. They don't have to keep lists for their customer service reps which can become outdated quickly and have to cover items like . . . do you have an old box of Kix or a new box of Kix. Also, (IMO) by not actually calling something gluten free, then they are not liable for cc issues during manufacturing, they are only telling you that the "recipe" has no gluten ingredients.

I found this too--but don't tell my kids ;) click on the Trix cereal link

Never heard of these either: click on Kaboom and Spiderman

Always make sure to check the labels each time--General Mills is still listing oats online for the Kix, but disclaimer at top says to always check pkg for updates/changes

Well, I found the new box of Kix at the Walmart in Troutdale, Jenny. And I've seen Berry Kix at least sometimes at the Winco in Gresham. Although I don't see it very often, it's true. But I don't buy the sugar cereals anyway... I didn't grow up on them so they just don't seem like breakfast to me (although I like them now and then for dessert).

I'll keep my eye open for Berry Kix for you. :)

Chicken Santa Fe, Santa fe style rice and beans, and there's another one with turkey medalians in a cranberry sauce. I forgot the name of it. The thing of it is, WW states these are gluten-free at the end of the ingredient list. My middle aged eyesight appreciates that. :)

Apparently the Cream of Wheat is also.

When I was first diagnosed, my wife actually checked the box for that one.

the 2nd link - honey kix - does list caramel color. does GM list sources if that's from gluten?

Yes, General Mills will clearly disclose all sources of gluten.

I was able to find the oat free Kix last night, right next to the Kix with oats. Our store doesn't have the Berry KIx or the Honey.

I emailed General Mills and didn't receive a response, so I called today. The rep told me that they are very careful about cross contamination, but she didn't seem very knowledgeable about the whole gluten thing. I want to be excited and want to try these, but I don't understand why they make such a fuss about the Rice Chex and do nothing about all the other cereals. It makes me wonder about the manufacturing process. Gluten Free is plastered all over their Chex website and box when relating to Rice Chex, but there is nothing at all about the Strawberry ones. Why???? <_<

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
