If you have to eat gluten free you know how expensive and what a rip-off all the prices are. Was happy to see this instore today half price, not all flavours - natural is still full price. Worth stocking up if going there - online also. Hope it helps others out. For those that dont know its a cereal.

Isn't granola made with oats and therefore naturally gluten free?

Non-contaminated (pure) oats; yes.
However, most commercial oat-processing facilities also process wheat, barley, & rye, so cross-contamination is a risk.

Contamination is minor (20-2000 parts per million) and only a concern if you are truly allergic to gluten. If simply on a gluten-free diet for health reasons normal oats are fine.
All that said, this product contains 25% sugar...

this. I'd be more concerned with the 25% sugar than the possible tiny traces of gluten

Comical replys above.. Coeliac disease sufferers would never dream of eating anything even with a zillionath of gluten in it.. Why take a risk with ur health ??

Regarding sugar - this is the issue with the broad majority of the "gluten free" range in the big stores, almost always, we are dealing with highly refined junk food. Better skipping all of this overpriced garbage and eating simple whole foods. I do find this range frustrating and irritating and wish much of it would vanish.
Have you seen those ridiculous soups & stews they sell in those sections that cost about £2.50 a can! What! I recall trying them when they were 1/2 price and they were utterly revolting, no better than a cheap can of Heinz. A total rip off.

Absolutely agree. Long time GF and in my experience any engineered gluten free products are questionable in terms of their nutrition content.

You would be if you were coeliac. :wink:
Serving size is 30g I believe so 7.5g of sugar from practically honey and fruit isn't the end of the world.

reality check guys... gluten free for a coeliac is a must / you have no choice. anybody who consumes a lot of sugar will always have the choice of getting off their lardy **** and burning off the calories.

evidence is that its not as simple as just burning it off. check out Robert Lustigs book or lectures or his or others research papers
