“We’re still baking… so stay tuned on Cheez-It social channels for more information on availability. We’re excited to bring this to fans!” the release reads.
Why release a gluten-free Cheez-It now?
The new gluten-free snack is coming after fans of the iconic brand have clamored for a gluten-free option for years, according to the company
“We’ve been hard at work to make sure we had the best recipe and process to bring the same iconic, cheesy, crunchy, salty, delicious flavor Cheez-It fans crave to those who have missed us,” the company wrote on the release.
The new product was announced to the public on Instagram by Cheez-It, with the post including the date “XX/XX/2026,” seemingly teasing the snack’s forthcoming release.
“It’s happening!!!! Cheez-It Original Gluten Free Crackers coming 2026,” the brand wrote in the post.
