Title: General Mills USA - KIX cereal
Post by: candyguru on June 16, 2013, 06:42:47 PM

This post is USA specific.

Anyone eat KIX cereal from the United States manufactured by General Mills (re wheat/gluten).  There are no gluten/wheat ingredients and no may contain (General Mills Cocoa Puffs are labelled 'may contain wheat' so they seem to label for cross contamination).

Just wondering if anyone in the USA avoiding wheat/gluten actually eats KIX cereal?

DS1 did but to be honest, it was many years ago.

Might be worth a call or email to them directly.

I believe they do label for shared lines but they do not have advisory labeling for shared facilities.

GM does label specific cereals as gluten free, Kix is not one of them. However, they typically label quite well so I suspect it's a shared facility with wheat/barley/rye but not a shared line. Smaller DS not old enough for the puff shape IMO so he hasn't tried it yet. We've been sticking to GF Chex.

Thanks TwinTurbo!  We use gluten-free Chex all the time.  We recently tried the vanilla Chex flavour and our kids love it too.
p.s. I still need to send you an email which I will attempt to write this week  :bye:

Good timing - I was about to send my new address and also our friends' place in Vancouver. We might even attempt a run at Victoria Butchart Gardens next summer.
