Celiac.com 01/12/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which breakfast cereals are gluten-free, and we recently made up a list of Cheerios and nearly one hundred gluten-free breakfast cereals.
Still, the questions keep coming, especially about some of the most popular cereals that are not gluten-free. The number of popular breakfast cereals that are not gluten-free is too long to count, but here are more than a hundred popular breakfast cereals that lots of folks wonder about, and wish were gluten-free. These cereals are not gluten-free, however, so be sure to avoid them if you have celiac disease.
