Some terrible news. Kellogg’s have recently used a new test on their Cornflakes to check for the residual gluten left over from the use of Malt Extract and have discovered that there is too much gluten left in them to pass the Codex Alimentarius rules on gluten content to qualify for gluten free.

In a nutshell this means that coeliacs must not eat Cornflakes from Kellogg’s, Asda, Co-op, Sainsbury’s, Somerfield or Waitrose.

Tests were also repeated, using the new test named the Mendez Method, on Rice Krispies and the Kellogg’s branded products passed. However as a precaution all other brands have been removed from CoeliacUK’s Food and Drink Directory and should not be eaten until further notice.
