Chicken Cordon Bleu By Barber Foods

I thought others of you might be interested in a frozen dinner (okay, it's just the main course, you have to come up with the sides) that is totally delicious, MAINSTREAM (so it isn't any more expensive just because it's gluten-free) and you can find at Costco/Priceclub.

In the frozen food section, it's in a blue box called Seasoned boneless Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Rib Meat, Cordon Bleu, Distinctions by Barber Foods. My entire family likes these, though I buy them mostly for my teenager to have something to throw in the microwave when he gets home from school. I decided to double check the gluten-free status before posting this and, indeed, they are gluten-free (though they have a breaded cordon bleu as well that as not, but I haven't seen that one at Costco's.)

This is not listed in the Costco gluten-free lists anywhere so...here you go.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm always on the lookout for something quick I can make when I don't want to do a full meal (besides a bowl of cereal).

Thank you for your support of Barber Foods! Unfortunately, Barber Foods does not claim any of its products to be gluten-free. Any known allergens are listed in the ingredient statements. We also do not currently have any products for sale at Costco US. Please visit our website to submit your zip code and receive a list of retailers that carry our products (Open Original Shared Link).

Most of our products are raw, which means they must be cooked in the oven to an internal temperature of 165⁰F. Only our fully-cooked products (which will be labeled as such on the package) can be cooked in a microwave.

Hi, Kelly at Barber Foods! The above post was made back in 2005. Perhaps you did have something for sale at Costco back then...As long as we have you here answering questions, will Barber Foods ever plan to put out gluten free items? Gluten free is not just a fad nor an allergy. With an estimated 1 in 133 Americans having celiac disease or gluten intolerance and many times entire families going gltuen free to support their children and loved ones gluten-free foods are becoming a big market. May is Celiac awareness month and I do hope your company will become informed. :)

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
