New Dora The Explorer Cereal

[e&j0304]

I just stumbled upon this at the grocery store today. I had never seen it before. It is corn based no ingredients contain gluten. I read the label many times and even called General Mills and they confirmed that they do not "hide" gluten and it would be clearly stated as wheat, oat, barely, or rye.

I just though I would pass this along because I'm sure there are some other little Dora fanatics out there who would love this cereal as much as I'm sure my little ones will!!

You can always get excited of gluten-free mainstream cereal!

Do you know anything about CC issues? Does it share a line with gluten cereals? I hate to put a damper on everyone's excitement, I'm just a little concerned because I'm sure they make many gluten cereals in the same facility...

It is very good to know, though, that there is a mainstream cereal that my daughter might be able to eat!! She's not too crazy about the EnviroKidz cereals (although I like them!) and there sure isn't much else for kids!

I think only adults like envirokidz, i think they are pretty nasty!

I don't know about the cc issues, but if it isn't a problem, that would be great. Most of the cereals that are "mainstream" that my niece can eat have sugar as a first or second ingredient, I think. (At least this one it's third on the list...).

That is awesome!! It is always nice to have another cereal we can buy at the regular store.

So the list is growing...Trix, Cocoa Puffs and now Dora. Has anyone had any luck getting through on the cross contamination issue? My son hates Envirokidz and he'd jump at a chance to eat a mainstream cereal, even in the shape of Dora.

dont' forget about fruity pebbles...

[num1habsfan]

haha thats so awesome, I think I may even look for it myself

I dont know if I have eaten Envirokidz cereal?? I think I have their corn pops or something lol. But I like them. Natures Path is still my favourite!

But Dora would be fun to taste lol

YAY!!!!! I love cinnamon flavored stuff!

[Guhlia]

Argh... I sent my husband out this evening and our local grocery store doesnt' carry it yet. Ugh...

My kids like Environkids cereal. They are 7 and 4 years old. They are my kids that can have gluten, but they like them. I will have to try these on my two year old.

I really don't know about the CC issues, but I kind of figured that if people were ok with Trix and Cocoa Puffs which are also General Mills, that this Dora cereal would be the same kind of thing. Also, Post has non-gluten-free cereals and Fruity Pebbles are ok, right?

I did notice on the box that it doesn't even have the disclaimer "This product was produced on shared lines with products that may contain wheat, etc....."

So I fed it to Ella tonight and we'll see!!

So is that replacing Islandberry Crunch?

[LKelly8]

I was glutened pretty badly by the GM Neopets cereal .

I'm sure it was CC because I'd already eaten several boxes of the stuff, over 3-4 months, and not had any problem then I opened a new box and got sick. I cleared my diet of all possible suspect foods and then reintroduced them, the Neopets caused an immediate reaction. In a facility that produces both gluten and gluten-free stuff all it takes is one lazy worker, one mistake, one line that wasn't totally washed down and boom.

Sorry I'm such a party pooper, but I'm trying to be a non-pooper!

I just ate a bowl of the Dora Cereal(ya I know cereal at 4:30 in the afternoon ).......it is REALLY good stuff!! I am so excited to add another mainstream cereal to the list! YEAH!!

Got this today and it is so good!! Belle just loved it!!

[KayJay]

I can't wait to get some Could anyone please tell me what shape it is in? Like round balls or flat thin pieces. I am hoping flat because I am so tired of "round cereal"

[jkmunchkin]

YAY Dora!!!!! I just had a bowl (pre-bedtime snack. LOL)! It's yummy!

My kids like envirokidz but we can't eat panda puffs anymore because of the soybean oil, cheetah chomps has oats. I don't think they tried koala crisps and they like the amazon flakes ok. They love the panda treats though.

It is in the shape of little stars. I'm so glad that some of you have gotten to try some. Ella and Jack love it too. It's funny because when we usually see kid cereal at the store I hurry by before Ella has a chance to notice whatever character is on it and don't usually even bother reading labels because they're almost never gluten-free. For whatever reason I looked yesterday and it was a great surprise!

I thought Trix had wheat starch in it? I've seen a couple of references to it being OK on this site. Is there a variety that doesn't?

I believe that they have changed their recipe. You have to make sure that you buy the new boxes. I checked my grocery store and they list wheat starch as an ingredient so they still have the old version.

[bremac]

I bought three boxes of it yesterday. And yes, I'm 23 years old. I love being able to buy "normal" cereal every once in a while and I hate fruitty and cocoa pebbles (wayyyy to sugary for me.) YAY!
