Hi all! you know those big round chubs of ground beef you get a wal-mart, is it possible there is some sort of gluten ingredient added? or is it just 100% beef?

If it is fresh meat with no flavorings or broths added it should be gluten free.

As already stated, it is the fillers that could add gluten and those should be listed as ingredients.
On a related issue: I was in my local grocery store and noticed that in their case they have "ready to cook" items (meat loaf, stuffed chicken breasts, etc.). Depending on how things are processed, there might be some CC risk from those items.

If it says flavorings but doesn't specifically list wheat, rye or barley, it's still gluten-free.

I just learned a new word! I had no clue what beef chubs were.
Yesterday, my mom asked me about the ground beef I bought at Costco. Did it come in tubes? No. It did not. In fact I had never seen any beef packaged that way. Then yesterday in looking for the hot dogs, I found it and it was called chubs. I think it might have been frozen.
I have since looked up the term and learned that it means beef packaged in tube form.
I rarely buy beef this way, mainly because most of the beef we get here is not packaged that way. Moran's comes that way, but they've had so many recalls, I try not to buy it. I think Fred Meyer's has some like this (not sure what brand), and I've bought it a couple of times. But mostly when I can, I buy grass fed organic beef.
If in the US, the beef should be nothing but beef, unless marked otherwise. I have seen some frozen patties that had soy or perhaps just soybean oil in them. I have seen store made meatloaf mix that wouldn't be gluten-free. But I have never seen any other ground beef with added stuff in it.
Now other countries might be different. From the people I have spoken to online, it seems pretty common in Canada, Great Britain and Australia for beef to have added ingredients. And I believe that the hamburgers they served us in school (many years ago) had bread or something mixed into the meat. It didn't really taste like meat. We used to joke that it was horse meat.
