Dear Ms. Fagin:

Thank you for contacting General Mills with your inquiry.

BIG G GLUTEN FREE CHEX CEREALS



· General Mills is reformulating the following Big G Cereals to
gluten free status:

o Corn Chex

o Honey Nut Chex

o Strawberry Chex

o Chocolate Chex,

o Cinnamon Chex



· As was the case with Gluten Free Rice Chex, the barley malt
ingredient was removed and replaced with another ingredient.



· Production has begun, so consumers may start seeing the gluten
free formulas on store shelves now. All 5 products should be widely
available across the U.S. by June 1, 2009.



· We do not have availability information specific to the gluten
free products.



· As with all reformulated products, both products may be on store
shelves at the same time so consumers are encouraged to read
labels/packaging carefully.



· Consumers should carefully examine the product packaging to
ensure that the cereal inside the box is in fact the new, gluten free
product. Look for "NOW GLUTEN FREE" or "GLUTEN FREE" on the
front/side/back panels.


· Other Chex products will not be gluten free. This includes:
Wheat and Multi-Bran Chex Cereals, Chex Seasoning Mixes, Chex Snack Mixes,
and Chex Snack Bars.


We hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if we can
help you again.

Sincerely,

Cecile M Davidson
Consumer Services
