Mainstream Food Stores

General Information Kroger's/Ralph's Albertson's
Costco GTM Stores

General Information
There are many different mainstream food stores in the San Diego area. The biggest chains are probably Ralphs, Von's, and Albertson's. In the past year, these stores have been quickly adding to their gluten-free selections. Ask if they have a gluten-free section, or check the health-food aisle. Albertson's reportedly will send you a list of their gluten free foods.

The new labeling law effective January 2006 will require all companies to list wheat if it is in the product. So you will only need to be concerned if questionable ingredients may contain rye, barley, or oats. When in doubt, check either directly with the company, or use one of the GF Food Guides available. Natural flavorings is one ingredient that still must be checked on to verify if it is GF.

Albertsons
Albertsons is now beginning to carry S'Better Farms Products (corn dogs, chicken nuggets, etc.) in the Kosher forzen grocery case or the regular frozen meat department.

Costco
Costco is a warehouse store that carries food in bulk. They have started a new labeling policy for their Kirkland line of food products in which they will put "no gluten" on those products that are gluten free (including their roasted chicken). If you have a specific question on the gluten content of any Kirkland item, you can call a Costco service representative at 800-774-2678, Ext. 6.

GTM, Discounted GF products
The following was sent in May 2006 from Stacy Montgomery about GTM stores, which are Wholesale Liquidators:

"GTM stores (one on Broadway in Lemon Grove, the other in Santee) carry gluten free products at a discount.
Don't know if anyone else has ever posted about these stores. The supply can be hit and miss, as the merchandise is never the same, but I've purchased some great deals on pasta, cereals, bars, etc...

Kroger's (and Ralph's)
"I was at Kroger's last night and noticed that they are putting gluten free labels on their Kroger brand products that are gluten free. I had to find the manager to thank him and to let him know that I would be making this my number one place to shop. Dae in Louisville KY 1/7/08
