Does anybody know the reasons for the low vitamin and mineral content of
various GF cereals and crackers? For example, comparing a box of glutinous
corn flakes to a GF product, we noted that there is a significant paucity of
all vitamin content in the GF product, compared to the glutinous product. Both
of these cereals are popular brands. (i.e., GF cereal has 0% vitamin A and 0%
vitamin C; the glutinous cereal has 15% vitamin A and 25% vitamin C; the
glutinous cereal also has relatively substantial amounts of Vitamin D, B
vitamins, etc.)
We are not criticizing the companies that produce GF cereals; we are
wondering why they cannot fortify the GF cereals? We noticed that the WASA GF
cracker has 0% for vitamins A & C. This, too, puzzles us.
