(*NOTE: I just found out that Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken is gluten free. It says it on the package, too! So YAY!! There is NO gluten in Costco chicken Rotisserie!) We had it last night with several gluten free friends, and nobody reacted!! I will add it to the shopping list soon, so just pencil it in for now.)

Our local Costco has 6-pound bags of Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 for only $10.99! Other readers have told me their store has King Arthur Measure for Measure OR Namaste blends. One reader wrote that they found Namaste Waffle and Pancake Mix and a six-pack of Namaste Brown Rice Flour in their store. Which gluten-free flour blend does your store carry?

Gluten-Free Prepared Meals at Costco
Need dinner in a hurry? Costco offers several prepared meals that are labeled gluten free—from their famous rotisserie chicken to chicken skewers and tamales to gluten-free pasta and globally inspired dishes like tikka masala and carnitas.
One of the best parts about Costco’s prepared meals is the convenience—many of these meals can go from fridge or freezer to your dinner table in just minutes. These are perfect for busy weeknights when cooking from scratch isn’t realistic. Look for family-size entrees, lunch options, and side dishes.

Costco has plenty of gluten-free desserts and frozen treats, from cookies and French macarons to chocolate mousse and ice cream. I also include gluten-free candy because Costco has a lot of gluten-free candy as well.
Many of Costco’s gluten-free desserts come in generous portions, making them perfect for sharing at gatherings or keeping on hand for when a sweet craving hits. You’ll find options like individually wrapped snacks, frozen treats like popsicles and ice cream, and seasonal or holiday items that rotate throughout the year.
While some products are clearly labeled gluten free, others are naturally gluten free—so always double-check the labels. If you spot a favorite, it’s smart to grab it while you can—they tend to sell out quickly! Drop me a comment and tell me what gluten-free sweets you see in your store.

TAMALES?????
OMG I would think I’ve died and gone to heaven if my CostCo carried GF tamales? What section? What do they look like?
Hi Joann, I found the tamales in the refrigerator section. In our store, some refrigerated items are in the glass cases with the doors, others are in where prepared meals, cheeses are. Our store has it in the refrigerated rows where cheeses, etc. are. I hope that helps.
Thank you for this list of items that can be purchsed at Costco. This is great.
You are very welcome Marsha. Please come back and let me know if you see gluten-free foods not on my list so I can add them in.
Sandi thanks for compiling the list. or easy referral, I suggest you add a link to your website in the list.
You are my hero. I totally forgot to do that!! I just added my logo and website to each Costco list. Thank you so much!
Our Wilsonville, Oregon Costco sells Sabatasso’s Four-Cheese pizza. They are a cracker-style crust They come 3 medium-large pizzas per box and are only about $17 for the 3 pizzas. We simply add whatever additional toppings we want and a little more mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. We actually prefer this pizza over the cauliflower crust pizza-really disliked a few of their toppings. I do not need to be gluten free but my husband is a necessity and we both really love this pizza.
That is by far my favorite Costco gluten free pizza! Our stores get it once in awhile, which is a bummer b/c they sell out so fast.
The go-go quinoa pasta is our absolute favorite! It cooks and only four minutes and it doesn’t fall apart left over like most others do. Even my non-gluten-free family members like it.
I am so glad you love this pasta. I have wanted to see if my quinoa hating family would notice…It is good to know your non-gf family members also like it.
Great ideas. I’m going to Costco tomorrow!
Please keep me posted if your Costco has things not on my list. Thank you!
Last year ( 2023) I found these amazing grain crunchy bars at Costco. You only seem to have them for that one season and I have been looking for them ever since. They were hard, not soft, no coating like chocolate, think there were only two flavors like maybe honey and peanut. Thought the name began with an M. Don’t quote me on this. In a wider bar like shape with foil package. Can you identify?
Hi Judy, they do sound good. I don’t recognize these from anything I saw at our Costco store.
Thank you for all these helpful hints! I’ll be on the lookout at Costco when I go today.
You are very welcome. Please let me know if you see something in your store that isn’t on my list.
Is the Arrachera steak from Costco gluten free?
I haven’t seen it in our local store, but if it is marinated, I would not trust it.
Is the imitation crab meat in the sushi California rolls gluten free?
Hi Catherine, Our store doesn’t have it. What brand is your Costco carrying? Here is a list of the brands I know are gluten free: https://www.fearlessdining.com/is-imitation-crab-gluten-free/
Just tried chicken mole from Costco. It was very tasty
I haven’t seen that in our store. What was the brand? Thank you!
Keto & Paleo Brownie Mix by Miss Jones – I found them to be very dry and didn’t care for the taste. To use up the box, I used them in place of cake in a trifle and cooked them for less time than directed. With layers of whipped cream, pudding, and candy they were fine. I won’t buy them again though.
I plan to go to Costco next week. I am sorry they were dry, but a trifle is a great way to save the day and add moisture.
I checked the Costco rotisserie chicken last week (in Canada). At the end of the ingredient list (I presume for the seasoning) it stated “may contain wheat”. When I asked, the person tending the chickens said he wouldn’t eat it if he was celiac.
Wow, I wonder why it says that in Canada, but not the U.S.A.? We don’t have that warning here, and legally they would have to add the disclaimer if there were a possibility of contamination.
“May Contain” advisory statements are voluntary. Precautionary allergen labeling like “made in a facility with”, “made on shared equipment with” or “may contain” are not required by labeling laws in either the US or Canada, so any company that includes advisory statements is doing so voluntarily. Unfortunately you can’t assume that the absence of a precautionary allergen advisory statement means that it is free-from unless you first contact the manufacturer to confirm that they include that voluntary precautionary allergen labeling on their packaging in the first place.
Are the pork medallions with Tucson seasoning gluten free?
Hi Deb, I am not sure.. I haven’t seen those in my store. You may want to check with the store manager.
My Costco in Dallas has the BFree gluten free pita. I bought them because I couldn’t find normal pita bread. I don’t know how much I’m supposed to discount a food’s quality because it’s gluten free, but they are just awful. Weird dense texture and no flavor whatsoever.
Hi Phil, Our store didn’t have that pita, but I did buy it once. Unfortunately, it molded within a day of buying it…which was very disappointing given we didn’t open the sealed package. Your comment makes me not want to try buying it if our Costco gets it in stock.
I’ve been GF for many years now and have greatly lowered my bread expectations. As a result, I like these for sandwiches. They don’t crumble like many of the breads do. I open the package when I get home, put wax paper between the pitas and freeze them. With the wax paper in place I can easily take one at a time out.
Hi The Costco chicken has something injected into it. I called and they told me they can’t guarantee that it’s not going to bother your stomach. Which I get sick when I eat it
the Costco rotisserie chicken — and all others — have a solution of sugar, salt, and various other yuck injected into them. Best to stick a whole chicken into the crockpot and cook it on low all day.
Everyone eats what they choose. Some people are on a major budget and need inexpensive foods they can get easily.
Thanks Sandi. Great article. Very useful!
Thank you.
Do you know if Costco’s Vanilla extract (16 oz. bottle) is or is not gluten-free?
Hi Bruce, I believe it should be gluten free as long as it is pure vanilla extract and not imitation. Here is more info: https://www.fearlessdining.com/is-vanilla-extract-gluten-free/
