Pre-packaged Kellogg's Rice Krispie Treats?

Hello everyone. I'm confused about the allergen listing on the pre-packaged Kellogg's brand Rice Krispie treats-- my son loves these and takes them with his lunch sometimes as a snack. I'm wondering if I could eat them too (I'm the celiac in the house)? Kellogg's lists only the following: CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS. Are the ingredients in these different from the regular cereal boxes? Malt is still listed as an ingredient. What gives?

Malt does not come from wheat, it comes from barley. Barley IS a gluten-containing grain, but it is not one of the "top 8" allergens that are required to be listed.

Food manufacturers are not required to list gluten, only the top 8 allergens.

Wheat and Soy are one of the top eight allergens which by law must be listed either in the ingredient listing or in an allergen statement. Barley, malt and rye do not have to be listed and may be hidden in "natural flavors".

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten to include barley, rye and malt:

Kellogg's Rice Krispies are not gluten free. (as you stated, malt is an ingredient.)

If you like Rice Krispie Treats...

The other month I got Erewhon brand cereal -- 100% Whole Grain Cereal Crispy Brown Rice (gluten free) and made krispie treats using Kraft Jet Puffed marshmallows. Still used the recipe on the bag (making sure all ingredients were gluten free) and split it in half so I didn't have to make a lot. They turned out good. My husband who can eat gluten liked them better than real rice krispie treats.

These are gluten free. Daughter likes the plain ones better than the chocolate.

They are gluten-free but do have a "May contain traces of ___" disclaimer so if you have other allergies, they might not work for you.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      No. That is, unless the dietician themself has a gluten disorder or is managing a close family member who does and therefore is immersed in it daily so as to be up on the nuances of eating gluten free. Otherwise, they just give you very general information which you can get online.

      Yes, a very cryptic and uninformative lab result report indeed! But it does seem like this is typical for the UK. It's almost like the "professionals" in that healthcare system don't want you to try and figure anything out for yourself.

      Thanks for the explanation. Do you think a dietician is required? I see people ask about getting one but what now will they help with besides charge you to say start away from gluten.

      Wow! I think the answers to your questions seem obvious to me but I'll oblige you. It's invasive because they are running a scope into an orifice and down through much of your body. Any procedure that invades the body is invasive. It's expensive because you are paying a trained professional (a doctor) to do it, plus nurses and an anesthesiologist plus you are using expensive equipment. It may not be expensive to you, depending on your insurance plan, but it is expensive as far as the health insurer is concerned. It involves some risk because you would be put under anesthesia and because there is always the danger of tearing something with the scope on the way down through your esophagus, stomach and into your small bowel.

      Maybe your followup is for the elevated total IgA, and not for celiac. It is strange not to have a numerical result for the tissue transglutaminase. I hope you get answers in the followup with your GP.
