Costco Rotisserie Chicken

Hey -

I was wondering if anybody has had a reaction to Costco's rotisserie chicken? I checked the back of the label and it noted that the modified food starch in the seasoning was from potato and tapioca starch but am confused as to what escaped me!

Thanks!

Pip

I was happily eating that chicken for months with no symptoms. Then suddenly got sick everytime, same symptoms as gluten. Turns out from blood tests, I have an allergy to paprika, bell peppers and celery. Celery rxn is especially bad. Anyone else have a problem with celery?

I react every time from their chicken! Here's my email correspondence with Costco. Note that it took me asking twice about CC after first being told the chicken is gluten-free.  (The earlier messages are at the bottom.)

Be careful buying anything prepared in the store!!

Hi Daniela,
 
Thank you for letting me know that the rotisserie chicken itself does not contain gluten. 
 
I would also like to know about cross-contamination. Does the preparation method used ensure that there's no cross-contamination?
 
Thank you

Hi,

I have Celiac disease and am unable to consume gluten. Do you know if your rotisserie chicken is gluten free and safe from cross-contamination?

Thank you,

From memory in the UK the chicken actually says gluten free on the label. 

The food prep area there though is gluten central. Pizza's, sandwiches etc. I don't think I've had it since gluten free, usually roast my own.

Jmg,

would you mind sharing your method/recipe for roasting your own chicken? It was one thing I loved before going gluten-free because it's so versatile and can save tons of time prepping meals every night!

Sure but it's nothing special :)

I slice garlic thinly then poke holes in the skin with the tip of a sharp knife and slide the garlic slices underneath so they sit between the skin and the meat, I rub a little olive oil onto the skin then season with salt and pepper. I halve a lemon and place it in the bird along with a halved onion and a little more garlic. Then I roast it. I don't think you can go wrong with garlic, lemon and chicken.

Like you say it's versatile. I can get several meals from it and I always save the bones and boil them up with the carcass and any old veggies lying around for a stock. Now I'm hungry :(

That sounds delicious! I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. Thank you!

You're welcome :) let me know how it tastes. I quite enjoy prepping it, like being a surgeon, except the prognosis for the patient isn't great...

I would be pretty careful about rotisserie anything in a supermarket or megastore in the US if it isn't labeled gluten free.

I agree! Usually I don't buy anything prepped or cooked in grocery stores, but the label said does not contain MSG, Gluten and a few other things. Hopefully they change they way they label their stuff.

It's delicious! The prep wasn't bad at all, and I can get quite a few meals with it! Thank you again. ?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
