Walmart carries many gluten-free products and a certified gluten-free line of privately labeled products. In this article, I’ll share which gluten-free brands you can find at Walmart and how Sam’s Choice Gluten-Free Bread and several Great Value gluten-free products fared when tested for hidden gluten. This post was last updated in August 2023 and contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosures.
Walmart has come a long way in its effort to cater to the gluten-free community. Not only is there a dedicated gluten-free section in many Walmart stores, but you can also find many name-brand gluten-free products throughout the store.
If you’re on a budget or want to save money because following a strict gluten-free diet is expensive, then Walmart is a wise place to shop.
While every Walmart is different, and some locations carry more gluten-free foods than others, I have found at least a small section of gluten-free foods in every Walmart I’ve visited.
The Walmart in Centennial, Colorado, has a decent-sized gluten-free section in the grocery aisle and one in the freezer aisle. A yellow banner hangs over the gluten-free area to help shoppers quickly identify the section.
In addition to the yellow banner, small yellow tags are sticking out from the shelves that flag consumers to gluten-free products.
The flag is only on some gluten-free products; if you hunt and peck the aisles, you’ll find many more products made without gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats.
Testing Sam’s Choice Gluten-Free Bread
One of the best finds at Walmart was Sam’s Choice Gluten-Free Multigrain Bread. The bread is certified gluten-free by the GFCO and comes in shelf-stable, stay-fresh packaging. It’s also available in Classic White.
When I first spotted the bread in January 2023, I didn’t buy it. I had too many loaves of other breads in my house to eat through.
Months later, I found it again and bought a loaf to test for hidden gluten using my Nima Sensor, a portable gluten-detecting device. As you can see, the packaging has changed from January to August 2023.
Nima smiled, which means it didn’t find any gluten. While this bread is safe, I must admit, it didn’t taste great. It was okay, but the texture and taste could have been better.
Gluten-Free Great Value Products
Walmart also offers a variety of Great Value-branded products that are certified gluten-free by the Beyond Celiac Gluten-Free Certification Program, a third-party gluten-free certifying agency.
These products are labeled “gluten-free,” “and include the following:
Breads and Pastas:
- Great Value 6″ tortillas
- Great Value Hamburger Buns
- Great Value Sliced White Bread
- Great Value Creamy Shells and Cheese

Dinner Kits:

Many items were in the designated gluten-free aisle; however, I found others elsewhere in the store. Always look for the gluten-free label before purchasing these items; some of these products come in gluten-free and gluten-full varieties.
Testing Great Value Products for Hidden Gluten
I tested several Great Value products with my Nima Sensor, including the Great Value gluten-free hamburger buns. Nima didn’t find any gluten in the hamburger buns.
I also tested the Great Value Cream of Mushroom soup; again, Nima Sensor found no gluten.

How to Save Money at Walmart
While you’re already saving money just by shopping at Walmart, there’s no hiding the fact that gluten-free food is more expensive.
Here are a few tips for saving even more money when shopping at Walmart:
(1) Stock up on naturally gluten-free foods: Stock up on fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, beans, rice, dairy products, eggs, etc.
You can get them at a great price at Walmart, and they’re all naturally gluten-free. Walmart also carries organic, sustainable, and grass-fed meats.
(2) Bring those coupons: Just because you shop for gluten-free foods doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good coupon or two.
Many brands offer printable coupons on their website or newsletters, including Enjoy Life, Bob’s Red Mill, Taste Republic, and Schar. I keep a list of printable gluten-free coupons in this article.
(3) Shop private labels: Walmart’s Great Value products are lower in price than their brand name counterparts. And they taste pretty good, too.
(4) Buy frozen produce: A great way to save money on groceries is to buy frozen produce. These fruits and vegetables are frozen at the peak of freshness and last longer than fresh produce. Some Walmart frozen produce contains “may contain wheat” warning labels. Please read all labels carefully.
