Hy-Vee Gluten Free Groceries Information

While most of the United States has Whole Foods Market and/or Trader Joes in their area, for much of the Midwest, this just isn’t the case.   Fortunately, much of the Midwest has access to a major grocery chain which is very friendly with the Celiac community.  That grocery chain is of course Hy-Vee Foods.

Over the past decade, Hy-Vee has been proactive in their quest to meet their customer’s needs by adding a health food section to their stores, which naturally includes several essential gluten-free packaged items those of us who follow a strict gluten-free diet.   This is especially convenient for people who live in small towns that don’t have specialty health food stores.

In addition to the new health foods section, Hy-Vee has also gone through all of the product on their shelves and built a huge list of products which were confirmed to be naturally gluten-free.  This list is updated regularly and is available for anyone to download on their website here (scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the PDF link).   I didn’t link directly to the list as it changes a few times each year, so I figured it would be better to link directly to the actual source, which can be bookmarked!

If that wasn’t convenient enough, most Hy-Vee stores also staff dietitians which are available to consult with Hy-Vee shoppers.   In addition to performing their normal roles, these dietitians will often accept feedback on existing gluten-free products, and in my experience they will also bring in requested products to their stores.

Bonus: Want to take gluten free grocery information with you on the grocery store? We recommend the excellent Gluten Free Groceries Guide, which is a small print guide that includes over 30,000 brand-name and store-brand gluten free products!
