Is Cracker Barrel Gluten-Free?

Celiac.com 12/29/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about products available at Cracker Barrel. 

Lately, we've seen a lot of questions about desserts. Specifically, is Cracker Barrel gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is no. Here's the rundown.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
As you might expect from a place named Cracker Barrel, gluten-free items are few and far between. Cracker Barrel serves food and candy products via Dine-In, Curbside, Catering, and their Country Store.

A glance at the Cracker Barrel menu shows that they are heavy on traditional American comfort food, so lots of familiar favorites with a few spins, but also plenty of gluten. 

The downside is that nothing appears to be labeled gluten-free, they do not have a gluten-free menu, and a search of the Cracker Barrel website for "gluten-free" turns up nothing.

For this reason, we consider Cracker Barrel to be not gluten-free or gluten-friendly. If you have celiac disease, and you're looking for gluten-free food and meals, you'll do better to look elsewhere. 

As for candy, you'd have to check the offerings at Cracker Barrel against our Safe and Unsafe Candy and Chocolate List.
