Does Aldi Sell Gluten-Free Bread?

Shoppers (including yours truly) love the discount grocery store Aldi for its sizable selection of items, from basic food staples like ground beef to home goods. It's also been considered one of the best grocery stores for budget shoppers. For those of you who have gluten-free needs, you might be wondering if Aldi sells gluten-free products, and more specifically, bread. The answer is yes — Aldi has its own dedicated house brand, called "liveGfree," which indeed includes sliced loaves of bread.

It comes in both white and whole grain varieties, which means your quick deli meat sandwiches, grilled cheese, or just plain eating needs are covered. But just like any house brand of good, Aldi's liveGfree gluten-free bread has both its fans and its detractors. One user in a Reddit thread about the gluten-free bread swears by the product, saying, "The bread is really good!!"

The thread also included comments from some detractors who feel the opposite way, declaring that the bread is too dry for their liking. Grocery store house brands can admittedly be somewhat of a gamble, so take note, gluten-free shoppers, if you're trying Aldi's gluten-free bread for the first time.

One cannot subsist upon gluten-free bread alone, so the liveGfree brand also has other gluten-free pantry products available for purchase as well. Aldi's website indicates that the grocery store also sells such gluten-free items as frozen breaded chicken products, wraps, snacks like cookies and crisps, pasta, and baked good mixes, which covers some general bases.

Admittedly the selection isn't huge; by my count, this only comes to 16 total gluten-free products listed on Aldi's site, but the selection at your nearest location may vary. For example, the Aldi in my neighborhood also stocks a gluten-free cheddar cheese biscuit mix that's not shown on Aldi's liveGfree section, so if you're curious, it might be best for you to visit a store in person or browse a store's in-store pickup inventory online. Aldi is also known for its limited-time selections and finds that drop on a regular basis (often on Wednesdays), which can be part of the fun of browsing the aisles now and then. If you're lucky, you might catch a limited-time gluten-free item in there, too.
