As you may have heard, some select boxes of Cheerios™ and Honey Nut Cheerios™ produced over two weeks in July at the Lodi, California plant, have been recalled due to a wheat allergen.  This recall only affects consumers with Celiac disease or a gluten-sensitivity. To learn more about the recall, and if your product is affected please go to: https://blog.generalmills.com/.

General Mills has finally done it.. they now have Gluten-Free Cheerios ™ !!

Gluten Free No Bake Oatmeal Bites Recipe with Cheerios™

Gluten can be a big problem for those who have celiac disease, or even those who don’t. So many products are going gluten free now. Even though I do not suffer from have celiac disease, my stomach bloats like crazy whenever I eat gluten!  Anyone can have a gluten intolerance and it’s becoming more of a problem for many people, even children!  My daughter finally outgrew a ton of her allergies and can finally eat regular Cheerios ™!  That being said if and when we can, we like to avoid gluten.  I have a few family members who have a gluten intolerance and celiac disease so we like to have options in our home for us and them as well.

I’m so excited about Gluten-Free Cheerios ™ Gifting to a friend!  Buy a box, give a box, for free! Each box you buy you can give one to a friend!  When my cousin was diagnosed with celiac disease it was really hard.  He loved pizza, cookies, cakes and pretty much anything with gluten.  It was extremely stressful and hard to figure out his new diet.  When we had them over I made every effort to make sure that all of us could enjoy.  I made the most incredible tacos with all gluten free ingredients.  I even made it a point to shred the cheese as sometimes those pre-shredded cheeses may have a caking agent to keep it separated.

I remember when he was a little boy, he loved Cheerios ™!  Now he can finally enjoy them again and I’m SO excited to send him the gift of Cheerios ™!  Way back when his favorite was the Frosted Cheerios!  I can’t wait to see which one he’ll get.   You can find these specially marked boxes at your local Walmart in 5 of Cheerios ™ products; original Cheerios ™ in the Yellow Box,Honey Nut Cheerios ™, Multi-Grain Cheerios ™, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios ™  and Frosted Cheerios ™!  Did I mention that the price is the same?  No price increase for gluten free Cheerios!

Cheerios ™ are a great first cereal (aside from rice and oatmeal) for babies.  Many people are now born with these gluten intolerances and this is a great way to give your baby the cereal we grew up on! Cheerios ™ are always made with Whole Grain Oats as the first ingredient!  General Mills developed a process to remove the wheat, rye and barley from our supply of whole oats in order to ensure that the oats in Cheerios ™ are Gluten Free!
