Why dont you all check with the manufacturer of Cheerios and see if they
test each batch for gluten. If they do, and the levels are OK, then
there is no need to make guess about content ! If they are not OK once
they are tested then we can spread the word. The worst thing for people
is uncertainty, and since many responsible companies routinely test each
batch for gluten, then the minds of everyone can be put to rest, one way
or the other !
