Yes! Our straws have been independently tested by SGS and
have a gluten allergen reading of less than 2.5 ppm. This is
significantly lower than the Gluten Free Organization
standard of less than 10 ppm to be classified as Gluten Free.
Even though our wheat straws are not meant for
consumption and therefore not required by the FDA to
meet the requirements classified as Gluten Free, our straws
STILL meet these requirements as they satisfy BOTH of the
conditions required by FDA:
- Contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten
- Any unavoidable gluten in the food due to cross-contact
or migration of gluten from packaging materials is less than
20 parts per million (ppm) gluten.
The wheat straws are made from the leftover straw after the
grain is harvested, not the grain itself. The gluten in the plant is
actually held within the seed of the plant.

or allergist if you have an allergy before using the wheat
straws

worldwide leader in testing and have been cleared of more
than 25 of the most common pesticides and other harmful
substances. Please inquire to hello@littlegreenpanda.com

Disposal
Our straws come from from the earth in their purest form
without any coatings or waxes. Once used, you can simply
throw them away or add them to your own compost
bin. They will break down naturally, like a leaf.
The Wheat Straws are 100% biodegradable and will
breakdown depending on conditions within 3-6 months.
We recommend our straws are disposed in composting bins which are sent to
industrial composting facilities. Here they will naturally degrade into organic
materials. If you don't have a composting bin, the straws will take longer to
degrade naturally compared to commercial composting.
