The Chex brand, owned by General Mills, has explicitly labeled Honey Nut Chex as a gluten-free product, providing a safe and delicious option for many with celiac disease. For those following a strict gluten-free lifestyle, understanding product details and potential risks is paramount.

According to General Mills' official nutrition information, a standard 1-cup serving of dry Honey Nut Chex contains 160 calories. However, this count increases depending on the type and amount of milk you add to complete a full bowl of honey nut Chex.

According to the nutrition facts, a standard 1-cup serving of Honey Nut Chex cereal contains 12 grams of total sugar. This translates to 24% of the daily recommended value from added sugars alone, a significant amount for a single breakfast item.

According to a 2018 statement from General Mills on X (formerly Twitter), the company was in the process of removing the preservative BHT from its cereal lines. Therefore, whether a box of Honey Nut Chex contains BHT depends on its production date, with newer products now using an alternative.

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.
