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.)
đź‘€ 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!

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?

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!

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!
Our Costco doesn’t have most of this stuff.
It bums me out.
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.
That’s what I figure.
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!
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!
4. The broccoli cheddar stuffed chicken breasts were not good or worth the price. Would not buy again.
Thank you so much for letting us know Meg!!
Are Kirkland frozen berries free of contact with gluten?
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.
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.
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.)
I scrolled down & disb’t Find the printable gluten free Cisco shopping list.
Hi Ellen, the list is actually closer to the top. Look for the sentence in red, that is the link to click.
Hi Ellen, The list is towards the top in the red print.
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!
