Why shop for gluten-free at Costco?
Groceries are expensive—and gluten-free foods often cost even more. Buying gluten-free staples in bulk at Costco can help you save money and stock your pantry with trusted brands.
From everyday essentials to electronics and fun new finds, Costco has a little bit of everything. It also offers a surprising variety of gluten-free foods across nearly every aisle—pantry, snacks, freezer, refrigerated meals, and desserts.
If you are on a budget, this article, Living Gluten Free On A Budget, has a ton of helpful tips. I also have a ton of Gluten-Free Budget Recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert on the blog!
(*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.)
👀 Sandi’s Tip: Costco’s gluten-free product inventory can vary by location, but many of these items are available nationwide. Leave a comment if you find something gluten-free at your local store—I’ll add it to the list!

Gluten-Free Snacks at Costco
Costco is my go-to spot for stocking up on gluten-free snacks—especially if you have a busy family, need school lunches, after-school sports and games snacks, or go on road trips. Costco’s selection changes often, but you’ll typically find a wide range of tasty options like granola bars, fruit snacks, protein bars, chips, jerky, and trail mixes. Many are certified gluten free, and others are naturally gluten-free with clear labeling.
Buying snacks in bulk at Costco is not only cost-effective but also helps you keep your pantry stocked with safe, quick options. Whether you’re looking for something salty, sweet, or high in protein, there’s something for every age and snacking style. Keep an eye out for new seasonal items and reader-favorite brands that rotate in and out!

Gluten-Free Pantry Staples at Costco
Costco is especially helpful for stocking up on everyday gluten-free staples—like flour, baking mixes, pancake mix, and even pasta. You’ll also find large bags of rice, quinoa, nut butters, cooking oils, and other pantry items perfect for saving money and cutting down on grocery trips.
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?
There are quite a few different types of gluten-free pasta at Costco. 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.
You’ll also find gluten-free convenience items like broth, spice blends, and canned goods that make meal prep easier without sacrificing safety or flavor.

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.
Don’t let the bulk packaging scare you—these meals freeze well in single portions for quick, easy reheating later. All you have to do is reheat them when you need a satisfying meal!

Gluten-Free Desserts at Costco
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.

Three Bridges egg bites. Love them!
I haven’t seen those Shanda…thank you so much for writing in :-).
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.
That is so strange. Our store said they are gluten free. Maybe it is regional?
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.
We love their rotisserie chicken too!
Do you know of the costco stuffed bell peppers are gluten free?
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.
Hi! Do you know if the house made rotisserie chicken salad is gluten free?
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 :-).
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.
It drives me crazy when I find something awesome at Costco, then it goes away. Glad the noodles are back in your store!
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!
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?
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
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.
I called Costco today and they are gluten free but not certified gluten free.
Thank you so much for coming back to let us know Ashley.
I shop at Costco Canada which they had more Gluten Free flour.
That is great that they have other gluten free flours Sandra! Our Costco only occasionally caries any lately.
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 !
Glad to help 🙂
I can’t see the printable list of the items that are GF at costco… Help, please.
Thanks,
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.
Do you know if the Kirkland natural peanut butter creamy is GF
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.
Is Kirkland signature basil pesto gluten free?
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.
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!
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.
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)
Thanks for letting us know. Our Costco didn’t have teriyaki so I didn’t think to mention that. Great find!
I bought some turkey meatballs from Costco that have a gluten free label on them. I haven’t cooked them yet.
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
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!
I’ve never had a problem with the spinach salad. None of the ingredients contained gluten.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙂
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.
I picked up a few others that are not on the list that you showed. These are found in Phoenix AZ.
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.
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.
Wow Sheryl, I would definitely prefer an uncured hot dog. Thank you so much for your note to let us know!
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!
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 :-).
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.
Does anyone know about the Kirkland brand lox. My daughter thought she was having a reaction.Thanks
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?
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!
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!!!
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.
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
Hi,
Do you know if the Kirkland organic mayple syrup is Gluten free?
Do you know if the Kirkland chicken stock is no longer gluten free? The packaging use to say it was gluten free.
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.
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
Hi Sheena, I haven’t seen those at our Costco stores. I hope someone else chimes in and can help you find these.
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.
They sound amazing Dori!!
Are there any premade meals at costco in the deli section that are gluten free??
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
Does anyone know if the gf chicken nuggets are discontinued? I really hope not because that is one thing my daughter WILL eat.
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.
I just bought some gluten free chicken nuggets on sunday.
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
How about gluten free birthday cakes?
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?
Hi Andrea, I was at Costco yesterday and did not see any pre-made Thanksgiving Day foods that were gluten free.
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.
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 🙁
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. 🙁
Hi Meredith, That is a bummer. These used to be safe. Thank you so much for letting everyone know :-). Sandi
I am looking for gluten free fish burgers. Can be any kind of fish. Do you know if Cosco has any?
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.
Thank you for writing. I haven’t seen these salmon patties, but they sound delicious!
Do you happen to know if the kirkland signature brand 1/3lb sirloin patties are gluten free?
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.
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
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
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.
Oh wow Emily. Thank you so, so much for letting us know so we can avoid that product. I hope you feel better soon.
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.
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 🙂
You could also add Oatmeal – right? 🙂
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
