Hi Zach - Can you imagine what this means for the other companies that are behind GM on this issue? I'm so excited to see what's next for our rapidly expanding market!
I bought some General Mills stock (GIS) around $50/share last April and now look how good the company is doing! :-) Thank you, General Mills for all the gf products!
I recently called them about Strawberry Chex which I had seen in PA during a visit. I did not try them and could not find them here anywhere. It turns out that they have been discontinued. I think they are still on their website, but they are not in this e-mail which I also received.

I just want to add a warning...I have been buying the GF Corn Chex a lot and enjoy them a lot. But, right before Thanksgiving I was shopping and in a hurry, and I accidentally picked up a Corn Chex box that was not GF. The box looked very similar to the GF one, but it had barley malt in the ingredients. I was in such a hurry I don't remember where I picked it up but it might have been Food Lion, where I don't usually shop.
Moral of the story, be careful when grabbing a box of Chex. ;-)
John, great point... just this week at my local Kroger I found some old Chocolate Chex boxes. Gotta be careful.
