Gluten-Free at Trader Joe's

I really like Trader Joe’s GF English muffins. We use them for egg sandwiches and prefer them to hamburger buns. Good tomato soup and rice crackers. They also have really good fresh big GF cookies in bread section. True they do have other GF items in different parts of store.

I like a lot of their products and they are great about labeling products that are gluten free. It's important to note though that their oats are not celiac safe. I have celiac and stay away from their products that contain oats, even if they are labeled gluten free.

Very limited GF options and many of those options contain oat flour which as a celiac, I react to. I am no longer shopping here because the number of times their products have made me ill is ridiculous.

trader joes is okay. they do have lots of gluten free options and sometimes they even have gf samples. you can get lots of packaged meals also, and they have a really good gluten free mac and cheese. the only thing that isn’t great is that a lot of their desserts/bread are processed in the same place as wheat items, which is ok for me sometimes but for people who have serious reactions, you would probably have to read the entire back of the package first. they occasionally would have things from certified gf brands like schär, but with their original items like cupcakes and bread, you’ll definitely want to read the back first. i’ve also noticed that at parties, people often get baked goods from trader joes, which, as i said, isn’t always 100% safe so i need to bring my own food. giving this three stars because it had its pros and cons.

Love TJs, I occasionally try their packaged goods and all has been good but I generally go there for the gluten free English muffins and bagels, as well as fruits and veggies. Plenty of options throughout the store, just make sure you are reading the labels on everything. I even found seasonal pumpkin and spice flavored offerings in gluten free versions (pancake mix, marshmallows etc).

This is a grocery store with some prepackaged foods and gluten free grocery options, however I have had some really bad reactions to their Trader Joe's branded gluten free items so please proceed with caution. I got very sick after eating their gluten free muffins, as well as their gluten free frozen mac and cheese. I wouldn't consider their food celiac safe.

Reviewing this after eating an “almost” everything bagel. Unreal. I had to check the bag to make sure it was really gluten free. I also picked up fresh GF chocolate muffins, English muffins (in fresh section but cold after being frozen during the evenings), fresh GF egg fettuccine. Thank you Trader Joe’s!

They don’t have that big of a GF selection but they do have AMAZING GF muffins by the bread section. They’re in the upper right end of the store, on the far left of the bread shelf. Highly recommend their cinnamon ones, they are amazing.

Gluten free gems to be found here! Try the Ube pancake mix and the tamari crackers, so delicious and definitely did not make me sick at all! It is important to be aware that none of the Trader Joe brand products are certified gluten free, however they do have some certified gluten free products like Partake cookies and Chomp sticks. The wine price and selection is the main reason we go here, the organic Trader Joe’s merlot is amazing and tastes way more expensive than $7. The staff here are so nice and helpful, too! The downsides are the same as all Trader Joe’s in that the store can be very crowded, especially on the weekend, and parking is limited. It is totally worth braving the cramped parking lot and crowds for the deals here, though!

The amount of times I've been glutened from Trader Joe's and kept giving them a chance- I've finally given up but not because I want to! Their bakery items are usually what got me but I've also had cross contamination gluten from even their canned veggies. Just not worth it to me. They need to have official labels or not say "gluten free". It might be good enough for gluten sensitive folks but not for celiacs.

Almost absolutely nothing is safe for a celiac here. Most of the food is manufactured on shared equipment with wheat. I don't know why people are always saying how great Trader Joe's is for gluten free stuff. I loved them before I was diagnosed with celiac though.

For there to be a comment about dining at Trader Joe’s, it is something of a misnomer. They have no menu. Trader Joe’s is a grocery store, not a restaurant or diner.

That being said, they DO offer samples. So if you’re GF, ask them if what they are sampling is GF.

Now on to my review. Trader Joe’s has LOADS of GF options, you just have to read the labels. My favorites are their bagels, and their cinnamon muffins, which go great with coffee. Of course, any “real” ice cream without any added things will be gluten free, my favorite is their Premium Vanilla Ice Cream.

The GF Hearts of Palm pasta is better than some of the other GF alternatives.

My all time favorites: GF English muffins. GF cheese ravioli (don’t freeze them), GF chocolate and coffee cake muffins (so good), GF fried frozen halibut, GF fresh pasta, GF choc chip cookies (like Tates), and I use the GF quinoa tortillas to make personal pizzas.

Trader Joe’s is a specialty grocery store. They have a respectable GF shopping list, ask for it at their customer service counter. It breaks down all their GF items by category. Lots of variety for your snacking needs but only one brand for bread selection, about only 3 varieties to choose from.
