I just wanted to share with anyone else who noticed the Honey Rice Puffins no longer say Gluten Free on the box - it now says Wheat Free.  I e-mailed Barbara's Bakery and received this response:

Thank you for your email asking about our Honey Rice Puffins Cereal.
While the packaging has changed, the production process and the
ingredients in the Honey Rice Puffins have not changed.  Our Honey Rice
Puffins is the only Puffins cereal that contains no gluten in the
ingredients but it is made in a facility that also makes products
containing wheat. Even though our production lines go through a very
thorough allergen cleansing after each product run, we cannot rule out
the slight chance of cross contamination so we removed the gluten free
designation from the packaging.

Barbara's Bakery is committed to producing quality natural foods, using
the highest quality ingredients available, while adhering to scrupulous
quality control procedures. Each batch we produce is tested against a
number of standards to ensure excellence.

We hope you continue to enjoy our products in the best of health!
