FAQs

What cereals are totally gluten-free? ›

We believe our cereal should be enjoyed by all. That's why we made Rice Chex™, Cheerios™, and Lucky Charms™ gluten free by simply removing stray wheat, rye, and barley grains from our oat supply.

All of our oats go through this mechanical sorting so that we can remove stray gluten containing grains. Testing of the finished Cheerios is the final confirmation that the product is gluten free.

Original Lucky Charms^TM are deliciously gluten-free. Although oats and marshmallows are naturally gluten-free, sometimes extra grains of barley, wheat and rye, which can contain gluten, get mixed in during the harvesting process and the transport from the farm. The magical difference is in our sifting process.

You may think that classic Kellogg's Brand Rice Krispies are gluten-free because rice is a naturally gluten-free grain, but they are made with malt flavoring. The malt is derived from barley which is a gluten-containing grain. Therefore, they are definitely NOT gluten-free!

The final verdict: Are Doritos safe to eat if you're gluten-free? Most Doritos flavors aren't gluten-free; the only one that does earn the gluten-free label is the Simply White Organic Cheddar Doritos.

Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Honey Nut Chex, Cinnamon Chex, Chocolate Chex, and Vanilla Chex are all gluten-free. The one type of Chex that is not gluten-free is Wheat Chex. So if you have a gluten sensitivity or are celiac definitely avoid Wheat Chex but otherwise you should be good to go!

No, Raisin Bran is not gluten-free.

Whole grain wheat is one of the first ingredients on the nutrition label. Since wheat flour contains gluten, the cereal is not safe for those who have gluten sensitivity and Celiac's disease. None of the Raisin Bran cereal variations are safe for those on a gluten-free diet, either.

Cheerios have always been made of oats, which are naturally gluten free. However, conventional farming practices as well as common grain handling procedures allow chances for gluten containing grains (like wheat, barley, and rye) to co-mingle with our gluten free oats.
