Arrowhead Mills Rice And Shine Hot Cereal

[SabrinaLuvsGluten]

I was thinking of trying the arrowhead mills rice and shine cerea. I am a little reluctant because even though the ingredients only say brown rice grits..the front says "made with gluten free ingredients". When I further read the description at the website, it says gluten free. Im confused. Is it actually gluten free? Are they possibly marking it that way because of x contamination issues. I wrote to the company, but I guess it will be sometime next week before I hear anything since its the weekend. Any thoughts? Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out.

Thanks a bunch!

Yep, that's Arrowhead Mills for ya - they've had issues with cross contamination, and to CTA, they say "made with non-gluten ingredients" but usually put a "produced on equipment that processes wheat..." statement on the box as well. Some people have had a problem with their stuff, others haven't. I use their stuff sparingly.

I haven't had any problems with their products.

Good. I am going to get some of the puffed rice tomorrow that they make. Someone told me they eat it with butter and salt as a snack. YUM. Corn is heavily sulfited when it is milled, so I cant eat popcorn, so that would be a good alternative for me!

I've tried only the Rice and Shine and the choc. chip cookies. The rice and shine is pretty similar to regular farina--I make it with milk instead of water and it's sometimes better w/ a little sugar on top.

The choc. chip cookies are great--just make sure, when you buy their products, that you get the gluten-free ones, since they also make regular, non-gluten-free products.
