Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hi , As current labeling laws stand right now, the only way to tell if a product is gluten-free is to call the manufacturer and ask. (You can also consult a reliable list or check the manufacturer's web site.) Ingredients used in "incidental amounts" are not required to be listed, as are ingredients used in processing. Also, contamination from other foods processed on the same lines is a concern. I did a quick search in my product lists and on line (including the Post web site), but did not find any reliable reference to Coco Pebbles being gluten-free. The last time I called to ask about Coco Pebbles the manufacturer said they were not GF, but this was several years ago, and things often change. I suggest you look on the box to see if you can find an 800 phone number, then call the manufacturer and ask if they are GF (let me know if there isn't a number on the box and I will tell you how to find it). With this cereal, I would be most concerned about contamination, so ask if other gluten-containing cereals are made on the same lines. Let me know what you find out. Also, there are gluten-free alternatives to coco pebbles: Koala Crisp by Nature's Path (check out the 7 other GF cereals they make; you can get them at Trader Joes and other health-food stores); Cocoa Crispy Rice by New Morning; Cocoa Dyno-bites by Malt-O-meal.

Anyone know for sure??? Thanks. Batavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi I know this discussion was a while ago but i am going through old emails. What are the other GF cereals by Nature's Path? My 7 year old daughter is celiac, but all 4 of my kids get the same cereals and they don't like Koala Krisp. So it's Gorilla Munch or nothing. Other suggestions for cereals that kids would like?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Natures Path makes a sweetened Corn Flakes that are delicious. I'm 23 and I eat them! Whole foods carries their whole line. Trader JOe's also carries a third type from them that I am totally blanking on right now. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
