A lesson about natural flavorings

[Guest guest]

Here's a lesson for us all about natural flavorings:

Sunday, my parents brought over Easter baskets for my

kids. In 's (14 onth old GFCF) there was a

small cannister of Kellogg's Snack 'Ums Rice Krispies

Treats Krunch. My Mom had read the ingredients, and

although she can't read well without her glasses,

nothing seemed to pose a problem. I read the label

before I gave him any, and at the bottom of the

nutritional labelling it says CONTAINS A MILK

INGREDIENT. The only ingredient listed that could

contain milk is the " natural flavorings " . To sum it

up, manufacturer's are not required to warn you of

milk or wheat ingredients, so we must call, call, call

religiously to check these " natural flavorings " out.

I have no idea how many times I have made the same

mistake and have given my child " natural flavorings " ,

only to be poisoning his system.

Rice Krispies also contain barley malt as a sweetener, so they are

not GF either. Sorry to break the news to you, but just wanted to

warn you.
