Gluten Free Cereal

We ran 987 cereal through our gluten free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 600 don't make it.

The hardest aisle for gluten avoidance. Wheat is everywhere, and even corn or rice flakes routinely use barley malt extract as flavouring, which fails them. Certified gluten-free oats and dedicated ranges are effectively the whole pass list.
