I swear I could live on
Cheerios. For awhile I practically
did. With so many flavors to choose from
it’s hard not to fall in love with one of them.
Now that many are gluten-free, it’s even easier.
Cheerios
has come out with five flavors that are gluten-free: Original (Yellow Box),
MultiGrain, Honey Nut, Apple Cinnamon, and Frosted. The great thing about these flavors is they
will always be gluten-free. Just as with
Chex, there will not be any comparing of boxes to determine which one is
gluten-free and which one is not. Every
single box of these flavors will have a seal declaring it gluten-free. There is one warning, though. These boxes with the gluten-free seal are
fairly new so some of the old ones may still be on the shelf. While in the end you won’t have to compare
boxes, for now make sure you see the seal before purchasing.
Since
going gluten-free is a new endeavor for Cheerios, they have put a great
informational section on their website (www.cheerios.com). In animation they explain the entire process
from the farm to the cereal box of how they were able change their product to
make it gluten-free. At various points
through this explanation, you can click on different videos to get further
information on certain topics. There is
also a Frequently Asked Questions section at the bottom.
Cheerios
are a product that can be purchased practically everywhere. Most grocery stores and stores with grocery
sections (such as Target) carry them. I
have purchased Cheerios at Pick ‘n Save, Sendik’s, Woodman’s, and Sam’s Club.
