Ok im so excited! A whole Foods just opened up like 5 min from my house! I went in today and it was packed! But I was so happy with the gluten free selection, and its all labeled nicely and it tells you that its gluten free! There were so many cupcakes and cakes and cookies and crackers! thats stuff I haven't had in 9 months! Its pricey, not something ill get all the time but it will be a nice treat to have every once in a while! I was just standing there in AWW almost in tears from joy looking at all the stuff! just had to let everyone know....

It really is great!

At a local WF, they periodically have gluten free tastings, coupons, gluten-free vendors come in ....so keep an eye out for that to happen at yours!

Try the Whole Foods brand gluten-free Bakehouse - particularly their pizza crusts, their cornbread, and their new chocolate cupcakes.

They opened one to the city to the south of me, in Roseville, but they've deliberately scattered and spread out all the gluten free goods all over the store to increase the amount of time and effort one has to spend searching for the products. There is a gluten free aisle, but it only has a few items on it. Ditto the premade frozen gluten-free aisle. This makes it really difficult to compare labels, ingredients, and prices, too. And I really don't want to see the little bags of specialty type spelt flour or the regular bread flour or cornmeal mixes, or other bags of possibly gluten containing flours sitting on the shelf right next to the gluten free flours, it's a huge turnoff.

Really, really, big time wasting annoying, because this store is also in a high traffic area if you don't live in the immediate vicinity, so it's not a casual trip. My local groceries and health food stores, which have much more user friendly layouts, a bit cheaper pricing on a lot of the same items, and try harder, will continue to get the bulk of my shopping. There is another Whole Foods in Sacramento near Arden mall, and they, the last time I was there, had a much more organized gluten-free aisle.

It's fun to go there and just look, if you want to blow time.

You are too funny! :D I am lucky that I live in the state where WF started and I have access to quite a few so I know your joy. Just don't go overboard on their treats or you'll gain weight but it sure is nice to be able to just buy some cupcakes when you want them. I have to admit when I find a new gluten-free product that looks really good, I get as excited as a kid on Christmas morning!

I travel approximately 2 hours to get to my nearest Whole Foods. I do this about every 1-2 months. My local grocery store (about 20 minutes away) carries the basic MiDel cookies, 1-2 brands of cereal, bread mixes & pizza crusts.) I usually shop there between visits to Whole Foods.

Consider yourself lucky!!!!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
