Cheez-It Releases Its First-Ever Gluten-Free Flavor

Fans have clamored for a gluten-free variety of Cheez-It Original for years. Well, the wait is finally over. For the first time ever, Cheez-It Original Gluten Free crackers have finally arrived.

“We took the time to get it right, working carefully on the recipe and process to ensure gluten-free snackers can enjoy the same cheesy flavor and satisfying crunch without compromise. Now, even more fans can finally enjoy the Cheez-It experience they’ve been waiting for,” said Cara Tragseiler, Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It.

More than 25 million Americans who live with celiac disease can now experience one of the most popular, top-selling cheese-flavored snacks around. Now available at retailers nationwide, Cheez-It Original Gluten Free crackers are made with 100% real cheese and come in a 9-ounce box for $4.49. 

To coincide with this milestone, the company has announced a new lineup of snacks for 2026, each of which are hitting stores next month. Here’s a sneak peak of what to expect:
