Is Kroger rotisserie chicken gluten free?
I called the deli at Dillon’s and asked them if the rotisserie chicken was gluten free. After putting me on hold several minutes, I was told that they checked the labels of the seasonings and the chicken, and the original rotisserie chickens and the Simple Truth rotisserie chickens do not have any gluten containing ingredients.
Simple Truth rotisserie chicken ingredients:
Chicken, water, sea salt.
However, be warned: At Dillon’s or Kroger, rotisserie chickens may be cooked on the same rotisserie as chickens with gluten containing ingredients, so cross-contamination may occur. The chickens are not specifically listed as gluten free, so if you have Celiac disease, it is better to choose another option.
When in doubt, it’s best to call the deli or ask them directly. Many rotisserie chickens have gluten containing seasonings or are coated, breaded, or stuffed with gluten containing ingredients. Always ask and check the labels! Labels may change over time.
