Does anyone have current info on whether Coscto's food court hot dogs are gluten-free or not?

Thanks

You will have to find out who makes the hot dogs- I would assume Kirklands but I could be wrong. Once you found out who makes them you can call the company. However I do believe hot dogs for the most part are gluten-free. We like hebrew national, b/c it actually have a little less sodium than other hot dogs & they taste better too . Yeah they are a bit more expensive but when theres a buy 1 get 1 sale I stock up & freeze.

The Costco by me uses Hebrew National hot dogs which they sell in bulk. They are wheat and gluten free. Keep in mind thought that the people behind the count wear gloves which they do not change frequently, they also handle hot dog rolls, pizza, hero rolls, etc.

This topic comes up from time to time. As far as we know, there are no hot dogs currently sold in the US that contain gluten. Nathan's used to, but they changed their formula two or three years ago.

Sabrett hot dogs are Certified gluten-free. Shamless plug: it's partially my doing. My father-in-law is the president of Sabrett and I started bugging him to get the product certified since they were gluten-free already.

Remember that they use the tongs to place the hot dogs into the bun. Over and over and over. C/C is a big risk, IMO.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
