But like, rice crispy bars were the one sweet "baked" good that anyone could make for gluten free needs...
Uhhh rice crispies have never been gluten free tough? The malt flavor is derived from barley and contains gluten.
Shit, did my mam lie to me all these years, lolol
According to the article, they've previously been labeled as "may contain gluten" do to being processed in a facility that makes other things with gluten, so they were probably fine for non-celiac gf folks. Now it's actually part of the ingredients, so that's over.
You would think with something like rice they would have a warning that it may contain gluten, people assume too much. But that’s also why stuff is labeled as gluten free if it is and designed so.
If they’re anything like my parents, they just choose to accept what they want and don’t want to be corrected -.-
I don't know if the article is true, but the article did mention there was a warning on the package.
It’s not listed on the package I have, Canada usually has better labeling too, but the article says “may contain” because it’s produced in factories that produce gluten, they don’t even talk about the malt flavoring having gluten.
Edit, interestingly, the Rice Krispies treat bar lists “barley malt extract” and specifies it contains barley.
rice bubbles are still GF, but coco pops now contain gluten.
