Dear Ms. Brennan:

Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding gluten in our General Mills products.

We want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product’s ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care professional or:

Celiac Sprue Association/United States of America, Inc.

PO Box 31700

Omaha, NE 68131-0700

Or toll free: 877-CSA-4-CSA ()

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

Thanks so much for posting General Mills's response That's

exactly what I was told when I initially telephoned them regarding the

Islandberry Crunch cereal.

I also emailed them a few days ago to tell them the positive buzz

regarding the cereal due to it's GF status and that it was such a

great new option for us. They responded thanking me and that they

would be passing the information about this on. I am quite sure that

if there was gluten in this product they would have responded quite

differently.
