Several of you replied and said they eat the cereal and have had no problems with it. I didn't have anyone reply saying they had any problems with this cereal.


Here is the company's reply to my question on there website www.kashi.com

Hello Karla:

Thank you for your recent inquiry about whether or not Organic Promise
Cranberry Sunshine contains gluten.

First, we are using a special variety of corn in Cranberry Sunshine called
Waxy Corn.  It is not the same kind of Dent Corn that is commonly ground
into flour or meal to make other corn flake cereals.  In addition, each
corn flake in Cranberry Sunshine is a whole kernel of waxy corn that's
been rolled and toasted.

In order to accurately provide information to our consumers, we went
directly to the growers of our corn to answer the gluten question
specifically.  According to them, whole waxy corn does contain some corn
gluten.

In addition, Organic Promise Cranberry Sunshine is produced on a line with
other products that do contain wheat; which does contain gluten.  Although
we do clean between runs and adhere to sanitation standards set by the
FDA, we cannot make any guarantees that absolutely no cross contamination
may occur.

We hope this information helps you to decide whether or not this cereal is
appropriate for your diet.

Thanks again for your interest in Kashi Organic Promise Cranberry
Sunshine.

Again, thank you for contacting us; we appreciate your interest in our
company and products.


Best of health,


Mark Mauer
