Enjoy the Cheerios you've always loved--now gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but the general oat supply comes with small amounts of wheat, rye, and barley that are introduced at the farm and during transportation. The Cheerios team has created a process that allows them to sift and remove the wheat, rye, and barley from the oats they purchase, making Cheerios gluten-free.
Now, five flavors of Cheerios will still have the same great taste, but will be gluten-free: Original Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, and Multi Grain Cheerios. Packages that are gluten-free will be labeled with a seal.
Oats are a highly sustainable crop that require no irrigation and are grown between seasons of other grains.
Oats are not only sustainable for farmers, but for the Cheerios buildings as well. The leftover hulls from oats are burned to provide energy to one of the Cheerios mills.
The whole grain oats in Cheerios are rich in a soluble fiber called beta-glucan which can help remove some cholesterol from the body.*
Oats are rich in nutrients, such as fiber and protein. Cheerios brings the benefits of oats in crunchy little Os, in a variety of flavors you will love.
*3 grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, like Honey Nut Cheerios cereal, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Honey Nut Cheerios cereal provides .75 grams per serving.
