<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Listmates. I have had quite a few queries about which country I am from, it is The UK. I have been onto Kellogs once again and they say that the malt in the cornflakes and rice krispies are from a malted barley wash. Only the tiniest amounts are used in the flavouring. This will only affect you if you are super sensitive to gluten. If you have been eating them with no ill effects then you are okay to continue them. The Celiac society here say they are okay to eat and are classed as gluten-free. Hope this clarifies the situation. Also I have had a few people write and say they have been eating them with no ill effects. Good eating. Pat.
