Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Cake Mix review
Posted on | July 2, 2009 | 6 Comments
Our family has been living gluten-free due to Celiac Disease for over 6 years. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and very similar to the protein found in outs. This means that any food needs to be made specially – bread, pasta, cake, pizza crust, pretzels, cookies, etc. Finding the Betty Crocker gluten-free mixes was a wonderful surprise!
Over the past 6 years there has been a huge increase in availability of gluten-free products, but most of the GF products have been found in the health food aisle of the grocery store or in a specialty store.
However, gluten-free products are becoming more mainstream as the number of people diagnosed with celiac disease rises, as well as the number of people living gluten-free for other reasons. Last summer, General Mills introduced a new, gluten-free formulation of Rice Chex (they changed the sweetener from barley malt to another sweetener). In addition to becoming more mainstream, gluten-free products are becoming much more commonly available and found in most grocery stores.

I love the fact that Betty Crocker has a line of GF mixes! It’s amazing how much easier it is to find GF products today than it was just a few years ago:)

We will have to try that too! Though we have tried the Cherrybrook Kitchen kind, and have been quite impressed. Thank you for all your great recipes!

I am Really disappointed in the Betty Crocker line of GF mixes!!! I bought the ‘yellow’ cake mix BECAUSE that one excluded ’soy’ in the ‘ingredients’! …..That being said……I baked it for a 77year old’s birthday……I only tried one small piece…..and HAD a SEVERE allergic REACTION!!! (Even though Soy was excluded in the INGREDIENTS, it had the ever present remark on the pkg that “may contain soy”…….BUT it WASN’T IN the INGREDIENTS!!! WHAT GOOD IS A GF PRODUCT if IT’s NO DIFFERENT THAN EVER OTHER PRODUCT ON THE MARKET…….EVERYTHING HAS SOY IN IT!!!!!!
I’m DIsappointed BUT NOT surprised!!!

I tried the devils food cake mix and the cookie mix and have the all too familiar gluten reactions. I guess I better look at the ingredients a little closer.
