*Is it safe for someone with a peanut allergy to eat Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios? No, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios uses real peanut butter, which contains peanuts for flavor. But we want to assure consumers that other Cheerios varieties are safe for those with peanut allergies as General Mills will be adding the peanut butter at a separate facility within their supply chain. There will be clear callouts that the product contains peanut butter on the front of the cereal box and on the side on the nutrition panel, and we will clearly state in name that the product contains peanut butter. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios were also made to look different from other Cheerios products, featuring different color O’s to avoid confusion with other Cheerios products when out of the box. General Mills and Cheerios advise that consumers with peanut allergies check with their doctor before trying its products.
