General Mills Puts Readily-Available, Gluten-Free Breakfast Option Within Reach
Big G Rice Chex® cereal Reformulates, Expanding Gluten-Free Food Choices for Persons with Serious Digestive Disorder and Partners with Celiac Disease Foundation 04/23/2008
Millions of Americans who start the day with a gluten-free breakfast have a new option from a familiar ready-to-eat favorite: Rice Chex cereal. Without changing the crunchy, oven-toasted flavor of Rice Chex, General Mills replaced barley malt syrup with molasses resulting in a gluten-free cereal. The company has taken the requisite steps to prevent cross contamination during production and tested the new formula based on proposed FDA standards. Rice Chex cereal calls out its gluten-free status on new packaging that will be available soon on store shelves nationwide. One serving of Rice Chex still clocks in at 100 calories, contains two grams of sugar, 0.5 grams of fat and delivers a good source of whole grain with at least 8 grams per serving. Suggested retail price is $2.99. Rice Chex cereal also offers consumers convenient recipes that can be made without gluten-containing ingredients on www.Chex.com.

From the Kellogg’s website on 3/5/2008:
At this time, we do not offer products suitable for consumers on a gluten-free diet except as follows:
Kellogg's® Eggo™ Syrup, Kellogg's™ Fruit Flavored Snacks and Kellogg's® Yogos are formulated gluten- free and may be acceptable for consumers on restricted diets.
Kellogg's® Corn Pops® and Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® might be suitable, depending on gluten sensitivity. Corn Pops have a very small amount of wheat starch added, and Rice Krispies have a small amount of malt flavoring, made from barley. Check with your personal physician to determine if these products are suitable for you.
