I didn't find any info on them either. I am bringing the cookies to a

potluck so I can decide whether or not to eat them. I may try eating

a small bit and see what happens since the amount of caramel coloring

in a few rice crispies is miniscule.

Kellogs Rice Crispies are the purest rice crispie cereal that I've

come across. I wait until they are on sale and buy the largest box

(700 grams) for three dollars at " Food Basics. "

Kellogg's Rice Crispies are NOT gluten free, they contain barley

malt. It is my understanding that no Kellogg's products are safe for

us.

Actually, in Canada, in London Ontario, the Kelloggs plant only uses a

malt flavoring, not true malt barley. I double checked. I know that

the parent company of Kelloggs is in the USA, and maybe it is their

practice there to use true barley malt, but not in Canada.

I noticed on the bottom of my box of cereal that it says, " Not for

sale outside of Canada " -- so perhaps the USA does produce their own

version and does not want the canadian product to interfere with their

own sales. I am sorry they do, because you could eat these Rice

Crispies otherwise, with no problems.

Isn't malt flavouring made from barley??

If not, I'll have to look next time I go to Food Basics.

I think their flavouring is fake.

Kellogs Rice Krispies contain malt flavoring so should not be gluten free.

Nothing they offer is GF. Although Corn Pops and Rice Krispies have

the least amount of gluten.

I just get so perturbed with lableing and all with the US. I so hope

they will come out of the dark ages soon. Corn pops, lets just call

them barley pops, same with rice krispies. Corn flakes? How bout

wheat flakes?

We do have a good cornflake here made by a Dutch company, Urtekram.

They also make a rice " crispies " type of cereal, but I thought they

tasted like sawdust, probably good for making " treats " tho. They list

a website on the box, www.urtekram.dk (they also have a line of GF

cosmetics, soaps, hair colors etc so may want to do a search of your

favorite online stores.) They taste just like " regular " corn flakes

and dont sog up quick like some other GF cereals.

Best!
