"This is exciting news for the cereal category, probably the biggest news since our commitment to whole grain in every box," Jim Murphy, president of the Big G cereal division, said at the time.
General Mills' Lucky Charms cereal went gluten-free shortly after, though marshmallows were already gluten-free.
This "simple change" was implemented to ensure gluten-free consumers can "enjoy their favorite kind of Cheerios again" and also to allow General Mills to meet the FDA's strict gluten-free guidelines. Gluten-free Cheerios hit the shelves in July, including the original Cheerios, Honey Nut, MultiGrain, Apple Cinnamon and Frosted.

General Mills is " embarrassed and sorry" about the incident and urges those with gluten allergies not to consume any affected cereal and to contact the company for a replacement or full refund at the number provided in the release. If your box of Honey Nut Cheerios reads the same for July 12 through July 25, 2016, save July 19, it's affected by the recall as well. If your box of Cheerios reads "Better if used by" with dates from July 14 through July 17, 2016, it's part of the recall. The recall involves four days of Cheerios production and 13 days of Honey Nut Cheerios. The recall involved wheat flour being accidentally integrated with oat flour at the Lodi facility.
