When R was diagnosed as having a gluten intolerance, she had to abandon her beloved Shreddies and Mini-Wheats in favour of cereals made from corn or rice -- grains that contain no gluten. Armed with this information, we immediately set our sights on Corn Flakes, Corn Pops or Rice Krispies from the cereal aisle. But alas, every one of these mainstream "corn" or "rice" cereals contained a wheat ingredient.
Instead of buying from the big companies, we ended up buying our all our cereal from Nature's Path, which only puts corn in corn cereals and rice in rice cereals. However, a recent trip to the grocery yielded a box of this new offering from Kellog's: Gluten-Free Rice Krispies.
Snap, Crackle & Pop -- you are now welcome in our home again.
We tried the new cereal in bowls with milk and in squares with marshmallows and found it is essentially identical to the offending gluten-laden versions in every way except the colour of the box. So why did it take so long to figure out what Nature's Path has been doing for years?

I don't know if it's gluten free, but Cinnamon Chex are mighty tasty....I think they are made of rice..??
You are correct. However, Chex has been an exclusively American product for many years. I have heard that it has started appearing in Canadian stores recently, so that is good news.
