I got home and it was the first thing I opened! Took one whiff and thought....uhhhh... I dunno about this. But I stuffed a whole handful in my mouth anyway. <shrug> It's NOT bad!! I'm on my way to a field trip with and I'm taking him some. THAT will be the final answer! But you know...for $2.43 it's not too darn bad!! Kinda addicting those little purple and pink balls are!!! Good snack food! 3gms of fiber and only 1 g of fat!! yippee!! Just wanted to put my 2 cents in! kathi

Hello...

I am the one who first posted here about this cereal. I had called GM

before posting to make sure that it is GF. The lady I spoke with

there was very knowledgeable and I felt secure with her assurance that

it is GF. Another reason that I feel confident about it is that there

is no little disclaimer about this product saying that it is produced

on shared lines, etc., which I am very sure that they'd add if it was

a problem.

We've eaten quite a large amount of it in our household with

absolutely no adverse reactions.

Hee Hee... I was at a local store, and just looked for

the heck of it, and they had it. I decided to buy a

box just for the heck of it.

They tried doing a price check, but couldn't find it,

so I got it for FREE!
