Tag: Chex ingredients

Chex cereal was originally known as Shredded Ralston, first produced in 1936 by the Ralston Purina company. While the original wheat version used shredded whole wheat, modern Chex comes in multiple varieties, each made with distinct main ingredients to offer different flavors and textures.

According to General Mills, the manufacturer of Chex cereals, the company's official website clearly lists "Natural Almond Flavor" and "CONTAINS ALMOND INGREDIENTS" for Honey Nut Chex. This means, contrary to some similar products, there are definitively nuts in Honey Nut Chex, specifically almonds.

According to product listings and ingredient statements, many of the base Chex cereals, like Corn Chex and Rice Chex, are certified egg-free. However, the answer to "Does Chex Mix cereal have eggs?" becomes more complex when considering the pre-made snack mix varieties, which contain additional components like pretzels and flavorings.
