Way to go General Mills










General Mills has been quietly reformulating many of their cereals. I just read the ingredients on each of these carefully and they all appear to now be gluten free. Now, most of them I would not personally buy because of the artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup - but for those of you who are just GF or GFCF, they should be fine. The Dora the Explorer I may buy for Andy. It is good to have some choices that are mainstream.

Since some of these reformulations are new - be sure and read the labels in the store before buying - some may still list malt flavoring and that is not GF.
And note that some of these (the lucky charms) have oats in them. Like some celiacs, we eat oats.
I bought the Dora the Explorer cereal today - it is a big hit - crunchy little stars that taste like cinnamon.
