Hot Dog Meat

The hot dog itself does not contain any gluten ingredients. It is made from beef, water, salt, corn syrup, dextrose, flavorings, paprika, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite.

The Bun

The bun contains enriched wheat flour, which is the primary source of gluten. There is currently no gluten-free bun option available at Costco food courts.

For Celiacs

If you have celiac disease, you should avoid the bun entirely. Some people bring their own gluten-free bun or eat the hot dog without a bun. Be aware that cross-contamination in the food court is possible.
