## Key points

- Kellogg’s replaced whole rice grains with flour in both cereals.
- Both recipes now contain wheat gluten.
- New packs flag wheat as an allergen.

## Summary

Kellogg’s has reformulated Rice Krispies and Coco Pops, replacing whole rice grains with flour-based ingredients. The change is significant for people with wheat allergies or coeliac disease, as both cereals now contain wheat gluten as an ingredient.

Rice Krispies are now made with rice flour, while Coco Pops use rice and corn flour. Kellogg’s attributes the change to weather affecting the quality and availability of rice and other grains, and says the cereals retain their fibre, vitamin D and iron levels and remain non-HFSS. New packaging highlights wheat as an allergen; the article also reports that Rice Krispies sales are declining.
