    Celiac.com 10/19/2022 - 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 Whole Foods products. We've done various articles on top brands of gluten-free products at Whole Foods, including gluten-free pie crusts, cupcakes, and desserts. Still, the questions keep coming.

    Lately, we've seen a lot of questions about frozen vegetables. Specifically, which frozen vegetables at Whole Foods are gluten-free? Here's the lowdown.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Because all vegetables are gluten-free, and because vegetables usually remain gluten-free through processing, freezing and packaging, it's likely that most frozen vegetables are naturally gluten-free, with or without declaring that fact. 

    As with many foods that are naturally gluten-free, it is not unusual for companies to simply not label those products gluten-free, even though they very likely contain no gluten. 

    A quick search on the Whole Foods website shows the following frozen vegetables, though selection and availability may vary by region and store.

    As with all foods, read labels and avoid gluten ingredients.

    Thank you for explaining the packaging of the frozen vegetables. Is the same thing true for herbs and spices packaged by the big box stores under their own brand name?

    Not necessarily, I would think. Though gluten may not be intentionally added as an ingredient in spices, cross contamination is more likely than with frozen vegetables as the equipment used to dehydrate, grind an process spices may also be used to process wheat/barley/rye in other of their food products. The point the article is making is that frozen vegetable processing is not likely to use the same equipment as is used for processing gluten-containing grains so their should be no CC with frozen veggies.
