Bell & Evans Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

I bought the Bell & Evans Chicken Nuggets at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago and had been a little hesitant to try them because I was afraid I would be disappointed. I wasn't starving when I got home from work tonight so I figured I'd make them and if they sucked I could just chuck them and make something else.

WOW.... If I knew how delicious these were I think I'd have bought a whole case!!!! Exceeded my expectations doesn't begin to say it. Not only does it taste exactly like I remember a chicken nugget tasting but they are made with real, juicy white meat so it's not a nasty, fatty nugget.

I would truly buy and eat these even if I didn't have celiac!!!

I apologize in advance to anyone that lives in my area and can't find them at the White Plains, Whole Foods because I plan on buying every box! :P

I believe all Whole Foods are starting to carry them.

I just had to add to this post after trying the Bell & Evans gluten free nuggets last night. It was a good thing I was starving, cause I ate the entire box!!! :D I was so pleasantly surprised by these. Made my night! I have tried Ian's gluten-free nuggets before and thought they were absolutely disgusting. I got the Bell & Evans ones at my local Whole Foods. Glad I bought two boxes!!!

Is corn one of the ingredients? If any of you still have a box of these, would you mind looking.

Thanks

Oh happy day! I'm sure my new WF store opening in late Sept. will carry them then. When I asked when the gluten-free beer was coming, they said not until the new location opens. Then the guy went on to explain they are going to have a larger gluten free selection that they do now!

There is yellow corn flour in it.

I eat atleast a box a week of these. LOL!!!

I was so excited after reading about these, I went to my Whole Foods (Berkeley, CA) to find them and... Sadness, they have no wheat-free chicken nuggets. I will have to request they order them next time I go in, and request all the local gluten-free people I know to do the same!

I saw these the other day at my local Whole Foods, but I didn't buy them because the box said they are processed in a facility with wheat... I'm really sensitive and can't risk a reaction, has anyone else reacted adversely to these?

Do you know if the chicken nuggets have soy in them?

Our family had no reaction to them.

I think it says on their website it says these are made on a completely seperate line than their regular products so you should be ok. I haven't had any reaction.

I had these for the first time this weekend and oh my gosh are they good! My sister and I sat there eating them together (we both have celiac disease) and kept saying "wow" and "yum" throughout the meal! :)

Really they are delicious. Pricey though...$6.50 a box at my Whole Foods...

But they are worth it!

At first I was kinda thought they were a bit pricey, but then I realized I usually get 2 meals out of a box, so I figure that is only like $3.25 per serving. :)

That is what I am thinking too. Come to think of it, I think Bell & Evans regular chicken nuggets are not that much less in price...

They are just a high-quality product with a high quality price! If I can have something taste so good and is safe to eat, then the price is worth it!

I need to go buy more as I only bought two boxes as a trial run...

I agree with the positive reviews. I was so excited that my local WF got them in- I had been checking every week and all of a sudden there they were- I was several feet away but I started running towards the freezer case- I think I scared a mother and child browsing in the area. :P

I like the fact that we have a choice between tenders and nuggets.

i know this is well covered by now, but I had to go find the thread and post again. Just tried these tonight for the first time and they are really good. I used to eat weaver chicken nuggets all the time (before going gluten-free of course) and these are at least as good, if not better.

One tip- i find they're better when a little over-cooked. Take a little longer to get crispy than the box suggests.

Thank you for bringing life back into this post. I missed it the first time around. I'm going to go look for some tomorrow at Whole Foods. They sound great.

Been watching for these ever since the original post, but no luck. Can someone please please please post the ingredient list? I could ask to have them ordered, but need to be sure they're free of my multiple interolances.

Thanks in advance!

The ingredients should be listed on there, and if not you can contact the company!

just wanted to ditto that they are yummy- taste just like regular chicken tenders- and i also broiled them on each side to get the crispy'er they were kind of wet/mushy on the breading until broiled.

i also got mine at whole foods :)

I read this post a while ago and when I made the 2 hour trek to WF I found them. I haven't tried them yet but I am excited.

I have been making my own type of chicken nuggets. I buy chicken cutlets which are very thin and cut them in half. I use Gillian's bread crumbs which even my gluten-eating husband likes and then pan saute them. I added mushrooms and swiss cheese the other day and topped it with a honey-mustard sauce I made. It was pretty good.

I'm saving the nuggets for one of those starving days when I don't want to cook.

Are these milk/casein free as well?

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
