Cheerios is bringing out a gluten free version made from oats.  Read this on a Celiac blog

How Did General Mills Do It?
The company has spent the past 3 years developing a mechanical filter to take out the gluten grains at their facilities. After rigorous testing, they have perfected the filtering process, ensuring that the oats used for Cheerios meet FDA's strict gluten-free guidelines.
General Mills decided to make the switch after successfully boosting sales of Chex cereal by changing the recipe to gluten-free in 2010. "People are actually walking away from cereal because they're avoiding gluten," commented Jim Murphy, president of the ready-to-eat cereal division of General Mills. "At a time when cereal sales, including Cheerios, are weak, we just can't afford that."
Gluten-Free Cheerios, available this July, will be clearly labeled. Thanks for looking out for us, Cheerios! We couldn't be more excited!
They are not using oats grown in a gluten free environment, they have perfected a filtering process to remove the gluten grains.  Hmmmm.  How many of you think the same thing I am thinking?  Really, how safe is it?????
