Malt-o-meal Cereal

[CMWeaver]

I just called and spoke with Roseanne, a rep with Malt-O-Meal cereals. The four cereals they have currently being gluten-free (Corn Bursts, Puffed Rice, Fruity Dyno Bites, and Cocoa Dyno Bites) will have a recipe revision come summer of 05. They will be adding wheat starch as a last ingredient. She couldn't confirm that exact month the change will take place but mentioned the ingredient change will note wheat starch on the bag label.

There used to be a nutritional question on their website stating the above were gluten-free and I noticed that too has been removed so that confirms the change is around the corner.

Christine,

thanks for the warning. I almost overlooked your post.

Jessica,

I went to the link you provided and will be calling Malt-o-Meal today. What a bum deal, in the truest sense of the word...they're covering their collective bum. This is the kind of thing that I've worried would happen because some companies just don't want the liability. The idea; corrupting their product intentionally, to keep us away! Yes, the customer reps have been nice to me too, and we will be having another little chat today!
