## Key points

- Rice Krispies and Coco Pops now use flour instead of whole rice.
- Both cereals now contain wheat gluten.
- US and Canadian recipes remain unchanged.

## Summary

Kellogg’s has replaced whole rice grains in UK Rice Krispies and Coco Pops with flour-based ingredients, citing weather-related problems with rice quality and supply. The change matters for people with coeliac disease or wheat allergies: both cereals now list wheat gluten as an ingredient.

Rice Krispies is made with rice flour, while Coco Pops uses rice and corn flour. Kellogg’s says taste, appearance and texture were assessed, and that nutritional levels, including fibre, vitamin D and iron, remain unchanged; both cereals are still classified as non-HFSS. The recipes in the US and Canada are unchanged, while UK Rice Krispies sales have reportedly been falling.
