Whole Foods

They have a good cracker and frozen foods selection especially for high-quality pasta and breaded items. I’m not impressed with its hot bar items. They have palatable frozen pastries and breads but they are a bit expensive and sometimes lack visual appeal because they are broken or have icicles. Once I bought a box of cookies and went to the car for a carb fest. I opened the box and every cookie was broken. I literally had nothing but crumbs and chocolate chips. I declined repurchase. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Whole Foods should be more careful with the shipping and handling of its gluten-free foods due to their composition and fragility.

Unfortunately, Whole foods could do a little better with eliminating unnecessary wheat/gluten products from some ready-made meals; for example, wheat berries or croutons in salads; use tamari instead of soy sauce in marinades.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So disappointing. This store is woefully ignorant to what gluten free means as well as Celiac disease. I am surprised as they seem more interested in offering Vegan offerings in their prepared food deli, something that is NOT a medical condition.

Expensive, terrible customer service. Great selection, but not worth the hassle.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No GF beer except for Red Bridge when I went yesterday. Red Bridge is not so good and is at Ralphs as well. They do have many GF products scattered throughout store. Very small for a Whole Foods.

This is a very large Wholefoods with a lot of hot bar and salad choices. I usually get a gf frozen meal from WF and heat it up in the cafe but I did risk the food bars. Unfortunately I felt a bit queasy later on so not a good choice.

There is a brand of frozen bread here from a brand called ‘Something Sweet Without Wheat’. I got their loaf of harvest bread labeled gluten free, wheat free and dairy free and it tasted really great. It also held up really well during my road trip as I pulled out a couple of slices each day for hotel breakfast buffets.

Good hot food and nice salad bar. They don’t mark ingredients and highlight allergens. We eat here all the time. I think the food sits quite a bit at times, but I just ask them if they have fresh dishes to put out in that case.
