The Gluten-Free Costco Shopping Guide (Updated 10-2026!)

Do you shop for gluten-free foods at Costco? This regularly updated guide includes a printable gluten-free shopping list for snacks, meals, desserts, pantry staples, and more. Print it out and bring it with you while you shop. I visit several Bay Area Costco stores and update this master list with what I find, plus what readers share about gluten-free items at their local stores nationwide.

Why shop for gluten-free at Costco?

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. If you think it may be difficult to store bulk foods, or if the portions would be too large, you can split your purchases and costs with a gluten free friend or neighbor.

Costco has a little bit of everything, from everyday essentials to electronics, household goods, and food. It also offers a surprising variety of gluten-free foods across nearly every aisle, including pantry items, snacks, freezer items, refrigerated meals, and desserts.

One of my favorite things to pick up at Costco is their Rotisserie Chicken, which is gluten-free. It says so right on the package. It is a real bargain and a great dinner staple. 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.)

If you’re 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!

Reader Favorite Foods:

My readers and Facebook followers have lots of favorite gluten-free finds at their local Costco. It is fun to see what products Costco has in other regions of the country. These are the best gluten free foods at Costco, according to my readers who write and tell me what they love most:

• Costco Rotisserie Chicken (labeled gluten free) – At only $4.99, this is a huge bargain! Add leftover chicken to soups, enchilada casserole, or use it as a seasoning for tacos, or toss it onto salads. I love making this Gluten-Free Chicken Tetrazzini with leftover rotisserie chicken.
• Rice Ramen – I love using these noodles to make the TikTok viral ramen.
• Tate’s Gluten-Free Cookies – Crispy and delicious!
• Kevin’s Paleo Chicken Meals – A lifesaver for busy weeknight meals.

Gluten-Free Appetizers at Costco

Whether you are hosting a big gathering, prepping for game day, or simply looking for easy, snackable bites, Costco offers several gluten-free appetizer options that are quick to prepare and perfect for sharing. From frozen finger foods and tamales to dips, cheeses, charcuterie, and jalapeño bites, there is something delicious for any kind of gathering. Costco is your go-to destination for picnic, cookout, birthday party, and game day party food.

These appetizers also pack well in a lunchbox for a filling lunch! Extras are easy to freeze for later. (Hello, Souper Cubes, my favorite way to freeze and store leftovers in single-serving blocks.)

Below is a list of gluten-free appetizers I have found at my local Costco stores, along with those discovered by our readers. Some are labeled gluten free, while others are naturally gluten-free; just double-check the packaging, as availability can vary by region.

Here are some of my top favorite gluten-free appetizers at Costco:

• La Terra Fin Artichoke and Jalapeño Dip – This has just the right amount of spice and is great for when we have friends over to watch a game.
• Mary’s Gluten Free Seed Crackers – So good on a charcuterie board.
• Aidelle’s Meatballs – Costco usually has a couple of flavors, and these make a great after-school snack.
• West End Chicken Skewers – Also great on a salad for a quick lunch.

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 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?

Costco offers a variety of gluten-free pasta options. 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 will also find gluten-free convenience items like broth, spice blends, and canned goods that make meal prep easier without sacrificing safety or flavor.

Here are some of the deals I buy when I visit our local store:

• Rice Ramen Noodles – My kids love when I use this to make stir fry.
• Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 – Our store has this every few months, and it is a good opportunity to stock up.
• Farmer’s We Know GF Rolled Oats – We use this for our morning oatmeal.
• Purely Elizabeth Granola – Usually they have the regular flavor, but this week they had two flavors in stock.
• Kirkland Steak Bites – Great for an afternoon protein snack.
• Franz Gluten Free Sourdough – This sells out fast, so I tend to buy two packs when I go.

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 of Costco’s prepared meals is the convenience: many of these meals can go from the 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.

Do not let the bulk packaging scare you; these meals can be frozen 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 offers a wide selection of gluten-free desserts and frozen treats, including cookies, French macarons, chocolate mousse, and ice cream. I also include gluten-free candy because Costco offers a wide selection of gluten-free options.

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 will find options like individually wrapped snacks, frozen treats like popsicles and ice cream, and seasonal or holiday items that rotate throughout the year.

Here are a few of my favorites:

• Dole Whip – So good, and a great summer treat.
• Haggen Daas Ice Cream Bars – Regular and mini sizes.
• Sun Tropics Coconut Rolls – Crispy and delicious.
• Sun Tropics Rice Pudding – Great in a lunchbox.
