WASHINGTON \u2014 Cheez-It<\/a> is bringing a gluten-free option to store shelves next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The snack company confirmed the news on Monday after rumors had been circulating online about the gluten-free version of the popular cheesy cracker.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Cheez-It has officially confirmed Gluten-free Original Cheez-It crackers will hit store shelves in 2026,” the company said in an email statement. “This gluten-free recipe packs the same cheesy, crunchy, salty, deliciousness fans crave, so no one has to miss out on the iconic, 100% real cheese crunch of a Cheez-It cracker.”<\/p>\n The change comes as Cheez-It says it’s “been hearing from fans who have had to transition to a gluten-free diet, as well as fans who have never been able to snack on Cheez-It for many years.”<\/p>\n “Perfection takes time. Cheez-It Original Gluten Free crackers coming 2026 \ud83d\ude0c,” Cheez-It said on Instagram.<\/p>\n
The snack brand did not set an official date for when the gluten-free option will be available, but it said it will arrive on store shelves nationwide in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cheez-It confirmed the new gluten-free snack will be safe for those with Celiac Disease, classifying it as a Gluten-Free Certified Product.\u00a0<\/p>\n Celiac Disease is an inherited autoimmune disorder that causes a reaction to the protein gluten, often found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. According to the\u00a0Cleveland Clinic<\/a>, gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine.\u00a0<\/p>\n Symptoms of celiac disease range widely, but some people experience indigestion or other gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, constipation, stomach pain and diarrhea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
