So, Trix is naturally gluten-free, and doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen warning, so it may be suitable for some children (or adults) with celiac disease.However, Celiac.com recommends that people with celiac disease choose a cereal that does include "gluten-free" on its packaging because this means that the manufacturer is actively monitoring each batch for cross-contamination issues, and it appears that this may not be happening yet with Trix cereal.
