I don't have any rice cereal on hand, but  the mixed grain version from both
gerber and beech nut list soybean oil or soy oil-lecithin as an ingredient.
heinz oatmeal cereal does not list it.  beech nut oatmeal says "contains
less than 0.1% soybean oil and tocopherols." (I have a freezer full of
cereal from WIC since my daughter declined solids for almost a year and by
that point was far more interested in table food than mush.)

Interesting thought.  I have counseled mothers whose babies also rejected
baby cereals and usually have been intolerant of ABM as well.  Never thought
to have them check the cereal label for soy or dairy. Duh.
