Gluten Free Rice Chex

Attention:  Not Corn-Free

I was recently delighted to find that General Mills' Rice Chex is now gluten free.  The rest of the ingredients seemed safe for me as well, but I wanted to be 100% sure, so I sent an email to their customer service.  Here is their response:

Hello Valued Consumer:

Thank you for contacting General Mills with your inquiry.
The Rice Chex has corn in the mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) that is used as a preservative.

We hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if we can help you again.

As you might imagine, I was pretty disappointed, but I'm glad I found out before I started eating the cereal.  It is, indeed, gluten free, though, so if that's your only problem, Rice Chex may be for you.
