Puffins Brand Cereal

Thanks for your email.
We do not consider our Original, Cinnamon or Peanut Butter Puffins Cereals to be gluten free because they contain oats.

The problem with oat products is not the grain but rather the harvesting & milling processes.

When oats are processed in the same facilities as wheat, a common practice in the U.S., contamination can occur even with the best cleaning protocol. Although more grain millers are producing gluten free oats, they are still very limited in availability.

Barbara's does not consider any of its products that contain oats to be gluten free.

The only Puffins cereal that is considered gluten free is the Honey Rice Puffins as it contains no gluten containing ingredients.

We hope you find the above information of use.
