I started this blog in 2014 to help anyone who needs to eat gluten-free. Please check out my family-friendly recipes and gluten free desserts if you have time.
I would also invite you to comment with the gluten free Costco foods you find. There are tons of readers who have written and shared what they found in their own local Costco stores.
I am lucky to have three Costco stores in my area. We have two in San Jose and one in Santa Clara nearby. If you are looking for your local Costco, here is a store locator!
**SCROLL DOWN for a PRINTABLE Gluten Free Costco Food List!! Take it with you for easy gluten free shopping!
Usually, Costcos have the same foods, but every now and then things are a little different. Many of these finds are from the Coleman Costco in San Jose. It is just minutes from the San Jose Airport. I like this location best because it is never crazy busy like the other Costco stores. (Well, except over the holidays, then no Costco is easy!)
Gluten Free Costco 2019 (UPDATED 8/8/19)
Gluten Free Costco
Groceries are expensive and gluten free food tends to cost more than other grocery items. Our family loves to save money buying in bulk at Costco and fortunately, Costco has a great selection of gluten-free products for us to choose from.
Products will vary from store to store (even within the same city) and below are the gluten free products available in our area that could be available in yours too.
If you spy something gluten free at your Costco, please leave a comment and let us all know.
PRINT THIS HANDY SHOPPING LIST TO TAKE TO COSTCO WITH YOU! (Just click the link below!)
Click here=> Costco-Gluten-Free-Shopping-List-Updated
(*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 get it added to the shopping list soon so just pencil it in for now.)
Gluten Free Pastas
*I have some tips on preparing gluten free pasta and recipes that you can read, here are more yummy Gluten Free Pasta Recipes to try.
These Organic Manitou Rice Noodles are new at Costco and are perfect for making Asian dishes! Give it a try in this easy Gluten Free Beef and Broccoli recipe.
I bought these Healthy Noodle noodles to try. My kids HATED them. These are supposed to be fat free, zero carb…let me know what you think!
Rice Ramen. This is NEW at my Costco in San Jose, CA. I love that there is a gluten-free ramen option. Has anyone seen this in their local Costco yet? You can try my recipe for Gluten Free Ramen, there is even a video to show you how to make it.
Go Go Quinoa Organic Macaroni Pasta…I didn’t buy this gluten free pasta. I am wondering if this gluten-free quinoa pasta will stay a la dente. Has anyone tried this new gluten free Costco pasta?
Edamame Spaghetti. I have a sample of this, but I have yet to try it. (Update, we finally tried this pasta. It is easy to over-cook this pasta so pull it out of the boiling water a little earlier than you would normally.)
Hodo Soy Spicy Yuba Noodles
Hodo Soy has become pretty popular here in the Bay Area. They are local and sell in some of the farmer’s markets. Their flavored refrigerated tofu meals are healthy and delicious! They were sampling the gluten free tofu entres in our store the last time I was there.
Gluten Free Snacks
There are lots of gluten free snacks on my blog that you can make at home. Let me know what you try :-).
New are these pea chips by Yes Peas! Our store had a Himalayan salt flavor.
Our Costco also now has some grain-free goodies like these Paleo Bites.
These Coconut Clusters at Costco are crazy addictive so consider yourself warned. I ate a good portion of the bag driving home. Just watch the chia seeds, they can get stuck in your teeth.
Nature’s Own has a new gluten free granola. I haven’t tried this brand, but if you love granola…let me know what you think. You can also make homemade granola in just minutes with this easy Cinnamon Granola recipe.
Here is a new gluten free protein bar from Ella. These are in the refrigerated section of Costco so they aren’t in the usual place. I am going to buy these and I will let you know what we think. I suspect these gluten free bars will be good in a school lunchbox!
Costco must be upping their paleo game because I found several paleo items this past week. This new grain-free granola from Autumn Gold is really good and not too sweet. If you want to try making your own paleo granola, it is really easy to make from scratch with this Paleo Granola recipe
Brand new at our Costco. Have you tried these Organic Protein Bars from Square Organics? Update, I tried these protein bars! They come in mint, coconut, peanut butter and chocolate. My whole family loved them. These Square Organics protein bars are perfect in a school lunch box!
Another new item this month! I did buy these protein bars and I really like them. They are the perfect pick me up in the afternoon. These protein bars are chocolate coated and taste like a candy bar.
Another NEW product, Figgy Pops. These are little energy bites. Has anyone tried this gluten free product?
ProBar Fuel. This is a paleo-friendly sports bar. I picked up a bag to try on bike rides to see if it gives me a boost.
The people that invented Made Good Granola Bites is just genius. This product has tons of hidden veggies inside, and they taste like granola cookies. Your kids will have no idea these are healthy!!
The Perfect Bar. These are by far our family’s favorite gluten free protein bars. (They have to be refrigerated because they have egg white protein.) They come in Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, and a fun Cranberry Rice Puffy Crisp. Still here in 2017!!
Gluten Free Chex Granola Mix. Our Costco had this for a few months, then it was gone. It was fun to sprinkle in yogurt. This is no longer at our Costco as of February 2017. Is this gluten free granola at your Costco?
Two Moms in the Raw granola bars. Our Costco gets a few different products by Two Moms in the Raw…it seems to alternate what they have each month.
Gluten Free Cookies and Crackers
Click here to view my gluten free cookie and gluten free dessert bar recipes.
These are my all-time favorite cookie, now in a gluten free version. Coconut Rolls by Sun Tropics, they also come in a salted caramel flavor!!
This new lemon coconut cookie at Costco is really good. They are super thin, so they have fewer calories.
I am so excited our favorite crackers are at Costco now! Simple Mills crackers are actually paleo (almond flour so take note if you have a nut allergy!)
If you love a French Macaron, pick a box of these Cocola Macarons up. They are sooo good!
Gluten-free Walker’s Shortbread
I love that Walkers Shortbread is now available in a gluten free option. These are delish!
Certified Gluten Free Coco-Roons Cookies. These raw treats are healthy and delicious. My kids love the lemon flavor best.
Tate’s Gluten Free Cookies. These are a great cookie. I also think Tate’s makes these under the Trader Joe’s label as well. Our Costco is sold out of these Tate’s Gluten Free Cookies, but you CAN find these under Trader Joe’s private label.
Nothinbut Granola Cookies. These gluten free cookies look like they would be great for a school lunch box.
Sonoma Creamery Parmesan Crisps
These gluten free parmesan crisps by Sonoma Creamery look really great for entertaining! (These are addictive so buy with caution. They are sooo good!)
Gluten Free Prepared Meals
These prepared meals definitely save you time in the kitchen. If you have some time to cook, here are some awesome meal recipes, many of which are ready in under 30 minutes.
LOTS of new gluten free prepared meals at our Costco this month!!
Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites by Three Bridges make a great grab and go breakfast.
Loma Chipotle Bowls are new at Costco. They are plant-based so perfect if you are meat-free.
These Bone Broth packets just need water to make a nutritious bone broth.
You will love these new Egg Thins. They make awesome wraps for sandwiches.
Sonoma Flatbreads Chicken and Kale Flatbread look really good. I bought them so I will have to report back how they taste!
Bibigo Cooked Sticky Rice is fun. Use it as a side dish, or make these yummy Mango Dessert Sushi.
I bet these new Organic Cauliflower Bites would make a great appetizer for game day, or any get together. I will pick these up and see how my kids like them. Here are even more appetizer recipes if you prefer to make your own!
These steel-cut oats by Cedar Lane would make a great quick and easy gluten free breakfast.
Here is a new soup at Costco. It is by Biount and it is a Chicken Ginseng Soup…look for it in the refrigerated section.
Another good soup for lunch! This organic Chicken Tikka Masala Soup looks good. It is also in the refrigerated section.
I bought this gluten free Thai Coconut Chicken Dinner, but we haven’t tried it yet. It looks really good so I will keep you posted how it tasted.
These gluten free Chicken Skewers look really good for feeding a crowd.
A new gluten free meatless burger. Very few vegan burgers are gluten free so I was excited to see this.
Another new product…I was very tempted to pick a box of these up. Has anyone tried these yet?
I bought these to try out. My teens loved them…I was a little less enthused.
I can’t believe these pupusas are gluten free. These are in my freezer and I will report back soon to let you know how they taste. (*Update, we really liked these pupusas. They are really handy to pack and take for lunch if you have access to a microwave!)
Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad by GoodFoods
This cranberry almond chicken salad by GoodFoods looks healthy and delicious. A few readers commented below if you want to know if this is good. I have received so many reader comments about this gluten free chicken salad at Costco. Half of you like this, and half of you don’t. What do you think?
Hodo Soy Tofu Veggie Burgers
Hodo Soy also makes a gluten free tofu burger. Most meatless burgers have wheat so these are a great option if you want to have a vegetarian option.
If you want an option that isn’t vegetarian, click here to try my Grilled Lamb with Leeks and Fennel recipe.
Del Real Foods made delicious tamales that are gluten free. This is worth picking up if you need quick meal options. Watch the sodium content though, I was surprised.
Organic Veggie Bites are a kid-friendly healthy snack. Has anyone tried these?
Another gluten free product from Del Real…Gluten Free Carnitas. These are perfect in tortillas.
Stuffed Grape Leaves. I LOVE Mediterranean foods, has anyone tried these yet?
Sukhi’s Curry Meals. I haven’t tried these prepared meals, but we have tried several of their jarred Indian sauces by the same company. My kids prefer the mild flavors so I don’t buy the spicier sauces often. My Costco still carries these as of February 2017.
Sukhi’s is all gluten free, they were sampling their foods at our local Costco and I think I liked all of their meals.
Stuffed Chicken by Vicky’s Kitchen. I haven’t tried this but it is certified gluten free. Fill in a comment below if you have tried these so other readers will know if these are worth purchasing! I didn’t see this one last week. Did you try it?
Gluten Free Meats
Costco has a huge assortment of meats that are gluten free, including a lot of organic gluten free chicken, beef, and pork. As they are raw and un-marinaded, they are all naturally gluten free.
Also, the Costco Rotisserie chickens are also gluten free!!
Paleo sausage is now at Costco! They have added a lot of paleo foods lately.
These angus steak tips by Mission Hill Bistro look like a great dinner if you need dinner in a hurry. Please let us know if you get a chance to try them. If you have a slow cooker, you may want to make this easy Pot Roast recipe. It has only 5 simple ingredients and can cook all day while you are at work.
Gluten-free spinach, garlic, and asiago sausage by Silva
Certified gluten free sausage by Silva. My son loved this gluten free chicken sausage. It is organic and makes an amazing easy lunch.
Sugarhouse Maple Chicken Sausage are so good for breakfast. Have you tried these gluten free sausages from Costco?
Columbus Deli Meats are also gluten free. (There are actually a lot of gluten free lunch meats at Costco.)
Oscar Meyer is touting its gluten free turkey breast deli meat. This is good and my kids like to have this turkey sandwich meat in their lunchboxes. Still at Costco in February 2017.
Nature Raised Grilled Gluten Free Chicken Strips. These are really good and I find they are perfect for dinner in a hurry by making chicken tacos out of them. I loved these but unfortunately, our Costco sold out of these quickly :-(.
Does anyone’s local Costco have these still? I so miss these convenient chicken strips!
Gluten Free Chips and Pretzels
If you love chips…Costco has quite a few gluten free options to try!
Gratify is now selling their Everything Pretzel thins at Costco!
Dang is making a sticky rice chip…I haven’t tried it yet but it definitely looks interesting.
We all know kale is good for us. These kale chips by Brad’s may be a great way to get our kids to like it too. Let me know what you think! If you want to get your kids to eat fresh kale, give this Kale and Apple Salad recipe a try. My kids will eat kale raw, but not cooked.
Rhythms Kale Chips in cool ranch. I tried these at the San Francisco Fancy Foods Show and really liked them. I could almost get my daughter to eat these :-). Still at Costco 2017.
Calbee Spinach and Kale Corn Chips. My kids wouldn’t touch this but it was really good dipped in hummus. These were not in our local Costco in February 2017.
Gluten Free DESSERTS
I probably should have this section at the top of the post, you know I am all about gluten free desserts!!
Sun Tropics also sells these coconut rice pudding cups at Costco.
!hese new almond butter chocolate cups by Chocxo are really good. Perfect if you have to avoid peanuts! These chocolate cups are also certified gluten free!
NEW! This chocolate mousse from Sweetaly was very tempting. Has anyone tried it yet? I have yet to make a homemade chocolate mousse, but I have made a Raspberry Mousse get gets rave reviews.
Harry’s Organic Tapioca Pudding
Harry’s Organic Tapioca Pudding is gluten free and makes a nice snack or dessert.
I am typically a sucker for tapioca pudding, but my family enjoys my Caramel Tapioca Pudding recipe store-bought, so there is no desire to buy this 🙂
If you are looking for something sweet, click here to view my gluten free dessert recipes.
Popcornopolis Kettle Corn
I have tried several of Popcornopolis flavors, this Kettle Corn is definitely my favorite.
Essential Living Foods Smoothie Mix
This gluten free smoothie mix by Essential Living Foods is new. Has anyone tried this yet?
There is a new peanut-free peanut butter by NuttZo. It is filled with nuts and seeds and has a crunchy texture.

Hi, just found out the hard way that my bottle of the organic no salt seasoning is not gluten free, based on my physical response. So bummed out to have to feel this way, and knowing it will take some time to feel better again. Seasonings – I think that’s the last risk I’m going to take with them. Certified gluten free from now on only.
Sandi Gaertner
Oh no!! I am so sorry. I really like Penzye’s spices, they are gluten free…the only downside is you have to order them online. (Sign up for their newsletter because they frequently send coupons.)
Ellen
I scrolled down & disb’t Find the printable gluten free Cisco shopping list.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Ellen, the list is actually closer to the top. Look for the sentence in red, that is the link to click.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Ellen, The list is towards the top in the red print.
Shanda Lyrene Gregoroff
Three Bridges egg bites. Love them!
Sandi Gaertner
I haven’t seen those Shanda…thank you so much for writing in :-).
sally freis
On Feb 1 2019, I asked the fellow at Costco in Elk Grove when he was putting out rotissarie chickens if they were gluten free. I was told they were NOT.
I left the store very disappointed.
Sandi Gaertner
That is so strange. Our store said they are gluten free. Maybe it is regional?
Ev
The label on the rotisserie chicken I got at my Costco in Davis (a few miles away from Elk Grove) says it contains no gluten.
Sandi Gaertner
We love their rotisserie chicken too!
Beth
Wow – what an amazing resource rhis is. Even for those of us who don’t have to eat gluten free, sometimes we are hosting people that do or just enjoy the priducts. Thank you so mich
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Beth! Glad to help.
Laura
Wow! I’ve seen some of those products at my Costco, but it certainly is nice to know that there are so many GF options at Costco. This was super helpful, thank you!
Sandi Gaertner
I am so glad to help Laura. Let me know if you see things in your Costco that aren’t on my list 🙂
Jenni
Wow, Sandi, what a fantastic resource! Sharing all over for my gluten-free friends!
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Jenni!
Dina
Do you know of the costco stuffed bell peppers are gluten free?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Dina, I haven’t seen those at our local Costco. Perhaps asking the store manager if he can find out for you? Please do come back and let us know what you find.
Caroline
What a great resource to refer to if you’re looking for gluten free foods, as I can appreciate it’s not as straightforward as you might think it should be.
Adriana Lopez Martin
I am not gluten free but I do enjoy shopping at Costco they have so much stuff and variety on the products sold. Appreciate you reminding me as I need ot go back and shop again soon.
Nancy | Flavorpalooza.com
Such a comprehensive and informative post. Thank you for compiling! Costco can be very overwhelming, so it’s great to have a Game Plan before going in. So cool that they have so many gluten free options!
Sandi Gaertner
You are so welcome, glad to help!
Sondria
Who ever knew that there were so many gluten free options? It’s really amazing how far gluten free product have come.
Cindy Gordon
I love Costco! So many great gf items!
Sandi Gaertner
What are some of your favorites?
Diane
Hi! Do you know if the house made rotisserie chicken salad is gluten free?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Diane, I am not sure about the salad. I do know their chicken is gluten free. You would need to ask the store. Please let us know what you discover :-).
Kathy
I am so thrilled that the Lotus Foods Ramen Noodles are back at Costco! They had been off the shelves for over a year and I was in mourning! They are a miracle go to item for me. I hope that they never do away with them again. When I get to the point that I am too tired to cook anything elaborate they make it possible to have an amazing meal with out waiting forever for the noodles to cook.
Sandi Gaertner
It drives me crazy when I find something awesome at Costco, then it goes away. Glad the noodles are back in your store!
Susan Spatz
Do you know if the Kirkland Signature Nut Bars contain gluten? I do not see any gluten containing ingredients in the ingredient list and under allergens it doesn’t list wheat. Thank you!
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Susan, I am not sure. Does it mention if it was manufactured on shared equipment? I haven’t seen that product. Perhaps the store manager could look it up?
Ashley
Are the Kirkland Organic Fruity Snacks gluten free? They don’t have any ingredients that would appear to have gluten, but are not labeled gluten free. Does anyone have experience with these? Thanks
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Ashley, I am not sure. I don’t see gluten anywhere on the label either. You may want to ask at your store to see if they can find out. Please come back and let us know.
Ashley
I called Costco today and they are gluten free but not certified gluten free.
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much for coming back to let us know Ashley.
Sandra Ross
I shop at Costco Canada which they had more Gluten Free flour.
Sandi Gaertner
That is great that they have other gluten free flours Sandra! Our Costco only occasionally caries any lately.
Sounds
Thanks for the tip ! We are considering moving to Canada from Paris (France) and of course a nearby Costco is mandatory
before we settle down somewhere, in our Supermarkets it’s such a drag to shop for GF products. Great blog Sandi thanks !
Sandi Gaertner
Glad to help 🙂
Lilia Martin
I can’t see the printable list of the items that are GF at costco… Help, please.
Thanks,
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Lilia, you should be able to go to the link that says shopping list. (It isn’t a graphic, just a line in the upper 1/4 of the post. I hope this helps.
Colleen
Do you know if the Kirkland natural peanut butter creamy is GF
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Colleen, I am not 100% sure if it is gluten free. I will say I buy it once a month and we don’t react to it. Perhaps the store manager can be check? Have a wonderful holiday.
Debi
Is Kirkland signature basil pesto gluten free?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Debi, I am not sure. I haven’t seen it in the store nearby. I suggest calling the company. They are very good at letting us know what is gluten free.
Michele
I am thinking about hosting Christmas Eve for the family this year. Was wondering if anyone knows if the spiral ham they have around the holidays is gluten free? Thanks for the help.
Kathy
Just to let you know that the Lotus Foods Millet & Brown Rice Ramen is no longer available through Costco. I had my husband look for some for me just yesterday in our local Costco. He asked two different associates about the product and they finally asked the manager. If you check the Costco.com site there are no Lotus Foods available at all anywhere in the system. I did notice that the product is available through Walmart.com but not in the local stores. I love this product as I have a hard time finding things that I am not allergic to. I am gluten sensitive, mammal sensitive, allergic to most fruits, all night shade foods, avacodos, all melons and deathly allergic to shrimp. Cottonseed oil makes my fibromyalgia go crazy. Nothing makes me hurt worse than the cottonseed oil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Sandi Gaertner
That is a bummer, it was nice to get those big bags of ramen. I have seen individual packets at Sprout Market and Walmart locally here in the Bay Area.
p Atchley
In looking at your list, I noticed Aidel’s meatballs are listed as gluten free. While some are, the last time I checked, the teriyaki meatballs are not gluten free. 🙁 The mango Habanero one are)
Sandi Gaertner
Thanks for letting us know. Our Costco didn’t have teriyaki so I didn’t think to mention that. Great find!
AMY
I bought some turkey meatballs from Costco that have a gluten free label on them. I haven’t cooked them yet.
Sandi Gaertner
Let us know how they taste 🙂
Debu Hassler
Does anyone know if the Costco prepared spinach salad with bacon and mozzarella is gluten-free? A friend brought me some but I’m afraid to try it. It is not labeled as gluten-free
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Debu, I am not sure if it is. Did you look at the ingredient list? I hope to visit Costco in the next week or two and I will look to see if I can tell. Thank you so much!
p Atchley
I’ve never had a problem with the spinach salad. None of the ingredients contained gluten.
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you for stopping by and letting us know 🙂
Brian E. Nessler
I just subscribed to your blog. Thank you very much for putting it together. Shopping for a picky 7 year old daughter with celiac disease is hard enough. I have a question about Costco, my daughter loves their roasted seaweed, but I can’t find it listed anywhere as gluten free. It’s ingredients don’t show any gluten containing products but I hate to take any chances. Do you have any information on it.
Sandi Gaertner
Oh my gosh, the note you typed to me is so much like my daughter. She is picky and LOVES that seaweed too. I am not sure, but I can say my Celiac daughter eats a lot of the seaweed and hasn’t reacted. You could also call your Costco and ask. I find Costco if you can get a human, is very good at finding out about gluten-free. My daughter is still really picky, please don’t hesitate to contact me at sandi@fearlessdining.com if you ever have any questions about kid-friendly food or recipes. Thank you for subscribing.
Harriet
So where is the printable list that it keeps saying is at the bottom of this column. I don’t see it anywhere, and I’ve scrolled up and down three times.
Oh, and are those egg white quiche at Costco gluten-free?
Thank you.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Harriet, I don’t know how to make a special button, look for this text in the post: Costco-Gluten-Free-Shopping-List-2 That is the link to the pdf to download. I hope this helps. I haven’t seen the egg white quiche at Costco. I should be shopping there next week and will take a look. I finally did try the chicken salad, it was pretty good :-). My kids didn’t like it, but my husband and I did. Thank you so much for stopping bye 🙂
Leslie Allen
My Dad has been GF for years now. He recently found the KIND nut bars from Costco. They are sooo good! Something that is easy to throw in a bag now that traditional granola bars are not a choice anymore.
Sandi Gaertner
Our whole family loves Kind bars. Thank you so much for writing about your find Leslie :-).
Monica
I picked up a few others that are not on the list that you showed. These are found in Phoenix AZ.
Sandi Gaertner
Wow Monica. The link you attached doesn’t work with blog comments so I would love to know what fun gluten free foods you found.
Sheryl
Costco currently has an uncurred hot dog that they demo’d today. Gf – dairy free and tasty!! Coleman Premium Foods. I have issues with gluten, dairy and the too much salt- (salt bliws my ankles up but I love hot dogs on occasion). ! It only has 340 mgs soduum per link. No antibiotics and cane sugar.
Sandi Gaertner
Wow Sheryl, I would definitely prefer an uncured hot dog. Thank you so much for your note to let us know!
Laura
The Cranberry Chicken salad is gf but not good. It’s bad enough that it has temporarily turned me off chicken salad entirely.
Thank you for posting all of this!
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you for letting us know Laura…I am not going to buy it. I like chicken salad too much to risk turning me off :-).
Harriet
My husband and I both love the cranberry chicken salad, so I was thrilled to find out that it is gluten-free. You might want to try it and judge for yourself.
Robin
Does anyone know about the Kirkland brand lox. My daughter thought she was having a reaction.Thanks
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Robin,
I do not see gluten listed on the regular Kirkland Smoked Salmon. I have had it numerous times without a reaction. That being said, did your daughter eat it on something that could have been cross contaminated? Either the bread (if from a non-gluten free environment), cutting board or cutting knife that could have had gluten on them?
Jenifer Baldrey
There is a new Paleo inspired bar by a company called Caveman Foods that is quite delicious. A work friend brought them in the other day. There is a Dark Chocolate Cashew Almond bar and a Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond bar. Enjoy!
Sandi Gaertner
I LOVE those bars Jenifer. I always have them in my purse, they taste so much like Almond Joy candy bars, but so much healthier. I will go see if they are in my Costco, it would be cheaper to buy them there. Thank you!!!
Mary M
Hey there. Regarding kirkland’s deli premade meals. They all may contain wheat and are labelled as much. And you eluded to the fact that most Kirkland made foods are labelled as containing wheat and I completely agree. It’s very frustrating at times as the food looks so good! Our stores here in Alberta only carry one bakery item that is glute free, which is the two pack of Essential bread. The sheet cakes, cookies etc all are labelled as containing wheat. So I end up just walking by the bakery, and most of the deli. Of course they do have meats and cheeses that are gluten free, thank god. I do adore their produce section as everything is so big and yummy! Like the apples, pineapples, carrots etc..In conclusion, I’d have to say that the two favourite GF made foods are the sabasso pizza and a company from British Columbia called Boomchicka pop that makes these big yellow bags of the freshest lightly-est sea salted and sunflower oiled popcorn I’ve ever had. So thank you Sandi for all your work into the gluten free world of Costco! I am a diagnosed celiac since 2010 and had severe damage to my small intestine as a result. A few gastroscopies and biopsies later (AND a gluten free life!)I am now in remission. …naturally as long as I remain gluten free. I am an adamant advocate of NOT diagnosing yourself because you feel a little bloated after eating a sandwich. A true celiac will tell you that 3-5 days after being glutened, you want to die. A simple blood test will “usually” show positive but a biopsy is the only way to see if it is destroying your body. I’m sorry for writing so much! I talk a lot too! Thank you and hope you have a great summer! Mary M.
Sandi Gaertner
I wish they were better with Kirkland products, but I’m glad they do list the ingredients clearly. We don’t have that Essential bread in our Costcos here in the Bay Area any longer. It is a bummer because I loved them. I am so happy to hear you are in remission, it sounds like you had a really scary experience. I should be updating this Costco guide in the next week. I found a TON more gluten free products when I was at my local Costco last week. Take care, Sandi
Sharon
Hi,
Do you know if the Kirkland organic mayple syrup is Gluten free?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Sharon. As far as I know it is. Kirkland isn’t great at labeling their gluten free products. When I looked a few months ago, I didn’t see any gluten ingredients on the label. I hope this helps. Sandi
Monica Alvarez
Do you know if the Kirkland chicken stock is no longer gluten free? The packaging use to say it was gluten free.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Monica, That is so odd they took off the gluten free wording. I have to head to Costco later this week. I will see what I can find out.
Sheena
A few weeks ago I purchased a bag of gf oatmeal cookie/bites that were amazing. I went to Costco today, and they are gone. 🙁 I can’t remember the name of them at all. They were small, in a resealable bag. The bag said the company beGan after a mom sent her cookies to her son when he was away (at college, I think). Does anybody know what I’m talking about? Please help me figure out what they’re called. TYIA
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Sheena, I haven’t seen those at our Costco stores. I hope someone else chimes in and can help you find these.
Dori
I think I had those, though I just bought them less than a month ago. They were shaped like small hockey pucks, very dense, chocolate and oatmeal. Does that sound right? We ate them quickly (YUM) and threw out the bag, but I will look next time I go there and report back.
Dori
Shoot, I can’t post a photo here. Got them again yesterday. They’re by E&Cs—“heavenly hunks” oatmeal dark chocolate gluten-free cookies.
Sandi Gaertner
They sound amazing Dori!!
Karen Williams
Are there any premade meals at costco in the deli section that are gluten free??
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Karen, There are quite a few in this post if you scroll down. There are Hodo Soy tofu, frozen gluten free pizzas (sometimes they have one by Sabatasso and sometimes one by Udis), Chicken salad, tamales, etc. Thank you so much. Sandi
Jenny Droll
Does anyone know if the gf chicken nuggets are discontinued? I really hope not because that is one thing my daughter WILL eat.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Jenny, my kids loved those too. I haven’t seen them in a long time at our Costco. Ask the store manager to look them up in their computer next time you are there :-). Let us know…my kids would be psyched it they come back.
AMY
I just bought some gluten free chicken nuggets on sunday.
Rebecca
Does anyone know the brand of the GF pasta that Costco carried? They were rigatoni shape and have stopped carrying it.

Hi Rebecca, I am hoping someone will respond. I know our Costco currently has gluten free rice noodles (Asian style), and a lentil based gluten free pasta. I didn’t buy the lentil based one again as my kids knew right away it was healthy and wouldn’t touch it. Take care, Sandi
Mary Anne Curry
How about gluten free birthday cakes?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Mary. Unfortunately, I have yet to see any gluten free cakes at Costco. Honestly, given how they use their commercial kitchens, I don’t think they would be able to manage cross contamination to keep you safe. I do plan to head to Costco later this week and I will do a double check to see if they have any gluten free cake mixes on hand and report back.

Does Costco have gluten free pies for Thanksgiving?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Andrea, I was at Costco yesterday and did not see any pre-made Thanksgiving Day foods that were gluten free.
Bebe
I have been glutened so many times at Sam’s I am going to join Cosco next month. It’s 10 min further each way but I need to do this. I am hoping the raw nuts and also various dried fruits that are naturally GF are not processed on equipment that process wheat, rye or barley. I’m not one for processed foods, so I need frozen fruits, veges, etc that I can count on to be safe.
Sandi Gaertner
I am so sorry to hear that Bebe. I have never been to a Sam’s, but it doesn’t sound good if you got glutened 🙁
Meredith Griffith
Unfortunately, the Costco pecans and almonds I just bought this week carry the warning that they were processed on equipment with wheat. This is a pretty rough blow for our family, as their prices on nuts are amazing and make almond meal baking possible. No more Costco nuts, I guess. 🙁
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Meredith, That is a bummer. These used to be safe. Thank you so much for letting everyone know :-). Sandi
Christine Svehla
I am looking for gluten free fish burgers. Can be any kind of fish. Do you know if Cosco has any?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Christine, I haven’t seen any, though they have a lot of fresh fish.

They have gluten free salmon patties in frozen section. It’s not always with the fish. Sometimes it’s with the frozen burgers. They will, at times, carry cod patties.
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you for writing. I haven’t seen these salmon patties, but they sound delicious!
Megan
They are delicious. Two of my kids and husband could eat them everyday. 😉
Laurie Owens
Do you happen to know if the kirkland signature brand 1/3lb sirloin patties are gluten free?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Laurie, Thanks for your email. I tried to google this information and I can’t find a definitive answer for you. I buy their organic ground beef all fo the time, but I haven’t tried their Kirkland brand.

Edamame Spaghetti is awesome!!! So far I’ve had it with pesto and even my 6 year old loved it.
Sandi Gaertner
I am so jealous…my kids won’t touch it 🙂
Michelle
I’m curious about maple syrup and organic cane sugar, vanilla and other kirkland brand one ingredient items. I have silent celiac so I wouldn’t know if I was getting glutened. Do you feel that these items are safe? Thank you
Sandi Gaertner
I have to think they are okay, especially if they are organic. I think the company is highly responsive so perhaps calling to ask about their specific products would help get you the information you need. Take care, Sandi
Emily
I think this is worth investigating. I just had a massive reaction to their new Kirkland vanilla. It does not say gluten free on the label and often the alcohol is made with grains.
Sandi Gaertner
Oh wow Emily. Thank you so, so much for letting us know so we can avoid that product. I hope you feel better soon.
Kim
Update as of April 12, 2017- I contacted Costco directly and asked them about their vanilla extract and this is what they said, “Yes, the Kirkland Signature Vanilla Extract is gluten free. I will send a suggestion to add that to the label.”
Great news!! Can’t wait until the price comes down on the stuff again, though 🙂
Enjoy your blog, Sandi.
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Kim, I am really glad you are enjoying the blog. I also appreciate your adding this info about the vanilla for other readers. Have a nice weekend 🙂
Nidal Saket
You could also add Oatmeal – right? 🙂
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Nidal, it depends if their oatmeal is from a certified gluten free manufacturer. If their package doesn’t say certified gluten free, I would avoid it as it most likely has been cross contaminated with wheat. Take care, Sandi
