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! If you are looking for party foods, I created a separate list of Costco gluten free appetizer ideas for you.
**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!)
If you are sticking to a budget, ou can find more tips for living gluten free on a budget!
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.

(*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 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!
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.
These gluten free parmesan crisps by Sonoma Creamery look really great for entertaining! (These are addictive so buy with caution. They are sooo good!)

These steel-cut oats by Cedar Lane would make a great quick and easy gluten free breakfast.

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!)
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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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 🙂

I have tried several of Popcornopolis flavors, this Kettle Corn is definitely my favorite.

Dana
Our Costco doesn't have most of this stuff.
It bums me out.
Sandi Gaertner
I am so sorry, I have found talking to the store manager helpful. Many times they don't know there is a need for gluten free.
Dana Lewis Allen
That's what I figure.
Pamela
the GoGo Quinoa pasta is amazing! my non-GF boyfriend even loves it, as well as my brother! It stays el dente, the next day if there are leftovers, it does not stay as firm, but still super delicious! My Costco had the fussili kind, but for the last little while they've only had the macaroni style. Hopefully we can get the other kind again soon!
Kristen
We love the GoGo Quinoa pasta too! My mom is gluten free but the rest of us will only eat GF if it isn't a sacrifice and these noodle pass the test! They hold up in the refrigerator for a few days without getting soggy and I can bake them into a Mac n cheese casserole without turning to mush. Loving them! Finally a GF pasta I actually choose to eat!
Dayna
Are Kirkland frozen berries free of contact with gluten?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Dayna, I am not sure on this. You would need to reach out to the company...Costco has companies package under their private label so not knowing the source of the berries makes it impossible for me to know. If you find out, please do come back and let us know.
Kris
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.
