Groceries are expensive, and gluten-free foods can be even more costly. 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, including pantry items, snacks, freezer items, refrigerated meals, and desserts.

Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken is gluten-free. It’s stated on the package, too! 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, and I’ll add it to the list!

Costco is especially helpful for stocking up on everyday gluten-free staples, like flour, baking mixes, pancake mix, and even pasta. You will also find large bags of rice, quinoa, nut butters, cooking oils, and other pantry essentials perfect for saving money and reducing the frequency of 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 reported 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?

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!

Costco Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The famous $4.99 Costco Rotisserie Chicken is labeled gluten-free on the package. (As always, double-check ingredients in case of regional changes.)
Yes, but brands seem to rotate. I usually see rice-based, lentil, chickpea, and edamame pastas. Our store also has a fresh gluten-free pasta option made by True Republic. Use them to make this Gluten-Free Lemon Ricotta Pasta.
Absolutely! Buying in bulk helps lower the per-unit price, especially on staples and snacks.

I truly hope you enjoy this recipe. I have been testing and creating gluten-free recipes for over 15 years. Creating gluten-free recipes that do not taste gluten-free is my goal for every recipe. Sometimes I only have to test a new recipe a couple of times, and others it takes multiple times. I do this so you get reliable, delicious results every time!
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.
