From my Celiac Disease Support group:
Important: This is why you must always read labels of foods you know you have had!!!
I have called Kellogg's to confirm this following news flash from Marge
Rogers of the Healthy Villi Support Group in Boston. It is indeed sad but true.
Wheat Starch will be added mid January 2004. Just wanted to let you know.
Kathy
Celiac Support Group at Children's Hospital -- ADVOCACY ALERT!
PRODUCT CHANGE.... KELLOGG'S CORN POPS WILL BE ADDING WHEAT TO THEIR
INGREDIENTS.
Let them know what this means to you.... send an e-mail, make a call, or
write a letter. Have your child say something too. The changes are to occur
mid-January. So let them know now.
