We learned that an event that our daughter was going to was going to have Cheerios as part of the snack. We couldn’t remember if Cheerios were ok, so I hopped online to check the ingredients / allergen information. This is the extremely useful information that cheerios.com has to offer:
If I had the stinking box in front of me, I wouldn’t be searching the internet for allergen information, would I? Thanks Cheerios, for making me want to punch a website.

Our kids have outgrown their soy allergies, but we keep this site running to help everybody else who is going through the same grief.
We'd love to keep this site relevant for every other parent (and person) that has to go through this nightmare. If you collect any information about any organization that serves food, please share it with us and we'll make sure the world knows about it.
Because "most" people do not have a reaction to highly refined soybean oil, most restaurants and food labels will not even list food as containing soy if it "merely" contains soybean oil. [read more]
I often go to a store website and flip through the pictures to see the ingredients list )often the third or fourth picture). The Target app is pretty good about listing ingredients for stuff it sells too. And if you are willing to pay $50 the Food Is Good (FIG) app is great; you can tell it what to avoid and where you are shopping and it will help find safe things and what to avoid.
This. I’m a college student and our dining hall has cheerios in a box with the FRONT label and the back label off… and then they did this for ALL their cereals. I love when sites say “check for yourself!” not acknowledging the fact that the box may have been tossed. Like – do they expect us to hoard boxes? Not have containers at home? Ha. Your post made me laugh but I can relate. Stay strong, soy-free friends!
Just type in Cheerio’s Ingredients on Google and then go to photo’s to look
