Dear All,

In the UK, The Coeliac Society "List of Gluten-free Manufactured
Products" - commonly referred to as "The Food List" - contains the
following text at the start of the "Breakfast Cereals" section:

'Almost all brands of gluten-free breakfast cereals contain malt extract
or malt flavourings which are safe for Coeliacs.'

Two points spring to mind:

1.  Have any of the UK subscribers to this list had bad experiences with
    malt-containing breakfast cereals?  (Even if not, please let me know
    anyway).

2.  Any non-UK subscribers may like to bear this in mind when visiting
    the UK, bearing in mind the difficulties in checking ingredients when
    somebody else is preparing the food, such as in a hotel or
    guest-house.  And of course, even a Coeliac-aware hotelier will
    probably refer to "The Food List"....

Regards,

Martin Purbrook

p.s.  Yes I know 'The Food List" is copyrighted, but I thought the text
was useful to this thread.  I have no intention of disclosing the listed
items unless with prior written permission.
