Oreo is releasing gluten-free cookies next year

Oreo just announced that it will be releasing a gluten-free version of its cookies in January 2021.

Based on its recent tweet, the “Gluten-free Oreo” looks pretty much like the classic cookie that kids all over love to dip in milk.

The packaging also bears a label indicating that the product has been  certified by the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America.

This came as good news to many cookie-loving netizens trying to stick to a healthier or gluten-free diet.

Gluten-free Oreos are expected to be “comparable snacking experience to the original recipe.”

“With the addition of the new line, Oreo invites snackers with a gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivities to enjoy our cookies too,” a representative of Oreo told CNN.

Gluten is a protein found in most grains.

A gluten-free diet requires one to avoid wheat and some grains while choosing substitutes that provide nutrients for a healthy diet. —JCB, GMA News
