This is soo cool! It is rare when a company makes a change and its BETTER for us! My store only had 2 boxes, and well I should say USED ot have tow boxes...

Not seen any of the gluten-free trix yet...

haha....bout time!!!!! although after two reactions off of them i'm steering clear

i finally found those Perky O's......at 6.50 a box....eesh

I imagine taht CC risk is gonna be much higher in the first few batches taht come out and fall out to a more normal risk level with time.

that is too cool

Vincent, I am laughing my butt off at you taking pictures of the box and the ingredients! That is SOOOOOO something I would do!!! LOL!!!

now if only i liked cocoa flavored cereal but thats terrific...i'm pretty sure i found the gluten-free trix the other day at target...i didnt buy any cuz i wanted to make sure that GM would actually list wheat/gluten if there was any...but according to the box they are clean with the exception of natural flavors i think...

angie

I can't believe I am this excited about cereal.

"Legodary"?

Umm its like Legondary, but uses less letters

Yay!! Belle and i have eaten them with no problems! Enjoy!!

Trix have Wheat Starch in them. Just went out to the Generral Mills website to look at ingredients has wheat starch at the end of the ingredients.

Yes Trix does, but the rumor is they are changing the formula and removing the wheat, just like they did with teh cocoa puffs. Some ppl reported they have seen gluten-free trix in the little boxes.

Well that would be good. I hate fruity pebbles and cocoa pebbles, trix are not even my favorite but they are better then those two.

I love this website when I learn stuff like this..... Vincent, my 7 year old thanks you!

Jsut be careful! Plenty of glutenfull boxes on the shelves still.. this is breaking news!

I think I found the gluten-free Cocoa Puffs at Kroger yesterday. I didn't buy them though. We still have a ton of cereal to get through.

I got our Gluten Free box of Cocoa Puffs on Saturday, my son had eaten them everyday. I also noticed that the Wal-mart Great Value Brand of Cocoa Puffs are gluten free as well, but warn of cross contamination.

I was at my local Albertsons, and though I don't even go down the cereal/bread aisle anymore I thought I'd look. They had new ones and old ones side by side. The new ones do say "New More chocolatey flavor" and the old ones have wheat starch and Oats in them. I didn't buy any, I can't abide the taste of chocolate cereal, but I did look just to know that there was at least one thing in that aisle I can eat. The Trix still had wheat starch, no sign of new ones there.

YAY!!!! I love that you took pics.

This was my favorite cereal when I was a kid. My grandma would play "the birdy game" with me every morning with my Cocoa Puffs to feed me breakfast.

Im glad my pictures brought so much joy to you all!

This is great news!!!!

I used to LOVE Trix!

What is the purpose of wheat starch anyway?

Maybe I am being selfish, but, I really wish there were not so many things
that I and others like me cannot eat because of how they are made.

Thanks!

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=4]THIS HAS MADE MY BAD DAY SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!! LOVE U GUYS! ANY OTHER POPULAR FOODS PEOPLE DONT REALIZE ARE gluten-free?? I THOUGHT IF IT SAID "MODIFIED" STARTCH IT WASNT SAFE???????????????????

Modified food starch is one of those things that we have to check on. In the US, though, most often times it is made from corn, but we should check on it just in case.

In this case it says Modified CORN starch, so its safe. If it said Modified Food Starch you would need to check UNLESS its a company like Kraft, General Mills, and etc that will disclose any gluten sources right in thier ingreditents.

tHANKS FOR THE INFO... I FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT NOW.

We eat very few "specialtiy" gluten-free foods, most of our foods are mainstream due to cost. For the most part we have just eliminated the grain group. Our store brand, Kroger, makes a lot of foods that are safe, and much cheaper then what you see at Whole Foods/Wild Oats. Just can not beat cearl at $1.86 per box for example. Yogurt at 5/$1 and so on. If we ever move, I want to stay near a Kroger!

Do you know if the new coco cereal is casein free as well as gluten free? I looked at the ingredients and it didnt say it had milk ingredients in it which I thought all the food manufacturers had to put on the boxes starting 1/06. But I did notice some risky ingredients that might contain casein or milk products. Anyone know for sure? It would sur ebe cool if it was GFDF, but I dont think I would buy it for a coupel more months just because of the risk of cross contamination.

Thanks for the word! Just is it casein free?

I do not *know*, but since this is a new label create post-1/2006 it should list milk if it was in there.

We have the Trix here...they're coming!!! They're coming!!!

Front of the box say anything ?

Terps--I just got back from WalMart--my hairdryer conked out on me today . Anyway, I read the Cocoa Puffs label--it had a date of 2006 under the address and did not list any allergens. I looked thru the ingredients and did not see anything that would indicate dairy or gluten. The box said 'more chocolatey taste' on the front.

YOu mean EXACTLY like the pictures in the first post in this thread? heheh

Yes Vincent--exactly like that! But I was really answering the question of whether or not it had casein. I wanted to be sure and describe the box so there was no misunderstanding.

Alriiiiiiiiiight! I am gonna go coocoo for cocoa puffs!

I can finally make me some cocoa puff treats!!!
Same as rice crispy treats but use cocoa puffs instead and add peanut butter to the marshmallow.
Tastes like it were Reeses treats!

Wow, that sounds pretty good, actually. I've had bad experiences with odd cereal treats (dorm used to make them out of whatever stale cereal they had leftover), but with the addition of pb, sounds awesome!

Okay guys, I was in my grocery store the other day holding a box of the NEW Trix (no wheat starch listed on the ingredient panel). I called just to make sure they were gluten free and the idiot on the phone told me that they were NOT gluten free because it had this listed "corn (whole grain, flour, meal)" as an ingredient. I asked her doesn't that just mean corn flour? She said no, it means flour. So what do you guys think? Was the lady just an idiot or does it have wheat flour in it? I didn't buy it because I was so mad, but I would really like to have some Trix.

NO thats not the gluten-free trix.

The only gluten-free Trix I found say "75% less sugar" on the front, and "flour" is NOT in the ingredients.

I have a box of Trix that I thought was gluten-free and it says the same thing. I also assumed it meant CORN flour because of the way it is listed:

"Corn (whole grain corn, flour, meal), Sugar....."

I haven't eaten it yet though.... not sure what to do now!


PS - for people who like Chocolate & PB - I mix Cocoa Puffs and Envirokids PB Panda Puffs together - YUM!

- Lauren

Lauren--What a great idea--

Nope, this was one of the new boxes. I confirmed that on the phone. I assumed that it meant corn flour, but the lady argued with me. I imagine they're probably safe, but she certainly didn't say so. The old Trix used to have wheat starch listed as an ingredient, not wheat flour. This box DID NOT have wheat starch listed on the ingredients, just "corn (whole grain, flour, meal), blah blah". It seams to me that it means "whole grain corn, corn flour, corn meal", but I called just to be safe. Actually, this wasn't one of the boxes that says 75% less sugar. Those boxes all had wheat starch. There were three different style boxes available and the lady assured me that I had picked up the most recent formulation.

I think you're right, Guhlia--it looks like all corn to me.

WHAT DO NATURAL FLAVORS CONSIST OF? WHAT IS THE GLUTEN PROBLEM IN THEM? NEW AT THIS!!

It could possibly be derived from gluten. Natural flavoring is usually ok but you have to check to be sure unless its a brand that won't hide anything. Do you have a list of brands that will not hide any gluten? Do you have the list of things that gluten can hide under?

I have TWO of the boxes here, neither say flour at all on them, nor any wheat. Prehaps I should take more pictures? If they did I would not buy them. As far as I have been able to find wth the trix only the very newest 75% sugar free ones no longer have gluten in them

Katie: THis is a General Mills company, so no worries about the natural flavors.

O I know..I was replying to the girl who posted before me wondering about natural flavors:)

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. NO, I DO NOT HAVE A LIST OF HIDDEN GLUTEN. I HAVE LEARNED MORE FROM THESE POSTS THAN FROM ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAD A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT JUNE OF 05. MY DAUGHTER WAS MY DONOR(29 YEARS OLD). I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OXALATES. CALCIUM OXALATE IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF KIDNEY STONE. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A DIET WHICH IS LOW IN OXALATES, MEANING I AVOID CHOCOLATE, TEA, SPINACH ETC. TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHY I HAD THESE OXALATES, I WAS IN A RESEARCH PROGRAM ATHE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SOUTHWESTERN IN DALLAS. THE DOCTORS WERE TESTING FOR MALABSORPTION FROM CELIAC SPRUE. THE TESTING WAS INCONCLUSIVE, BUT I WAS PUT ON A GLUTEN FREE DIET. MUCH OF MY GASTRO PROBLEM IMPROVED. I AM SCHEDULED FOR A BIOPSY VERY SOON, AND THEN ANOTHER 5 OR 6 DAYS BACK IN THE HOSPITAL FOR FOLLOW UP.
GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE NEAREST TOWN TO ME. I AM TRYING TO EDUCATE MYSELF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BEING ON BOTH OF THESE DIETS GETS CONFUSING.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND HERE.....

Yes please, Vincent... If I can't have the real thing here, at least I could drool over the ingredients of your box... I actually would like to see it so I know what I"m looking for next time because the box I saw that said 75% less sugar had wheat starch listed as one of the ingredients way down at the bottom.

Okay I will heopefully remember to do that after I get home from my ASL class. If you dont see a post from me with it by say 10pm CST, drop me a PM reminder
