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,

It is my pleasure to assist. This rotisserie chicken is prepared in a facility that processes items with gluten.

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. ?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
