Mars-owned Cheez-It® introduces first-ever original gluten free crackers

Cheez-It® is expanding its offerings with the launch of Cheez-It Original Gluten Free crackers. The milestone marks one of the most highly requested innovations in the brand’s history, bringing the iconic salty, crunchy, cheesy flavor to the gluten-free community for the very first time. The launch also leads a lineup of new snacking innovations designed to deliver exciting new flavors, craveable textures and more variety – giving fans even more ways to enjoy the signature Cheez-It taste and delight more snackers.

Made with 100% real cheese, Cheez-It Original Gluten Free crackers deliver the same satisfying balance of toasted cheese, a hint of salt and signature tang fans have craved for generations – now made for more to enjoy at $4.49 for a 9 oz. box.
