Several years ago, I enjoyed Kenmei Rice Bran, I believe put out by
Kellogg. Unfortunately, I can't find it on the shelves any more. But it did
say "gluten free" on the package. I called customer service at Kellogg (or
one of the big cereal makers) several years back, and asked why they hadn't
designated other cereals that looked gluten free from the ingredients as
such. They said that sometimes cereals that don't contain gluten are made on
the same conveyor belts or with the same equipment as gluten-containing
cereal, so because there might be contamination, they don't designate these
as gluten free. For particulars, I'd recommend calling the manufacturers.
Most have an 800 number listed on the box.
