Are fiber containers safe for people with gluten allergies?

YES! The fiber products we carry are mostly made from bamboo and sugarcane bagasse or perennial grasses. Wheat straw is not commonly used these day. Gluten is a protein typically found in the seeds of wheat used for food production.

Fiber products with wheat straw fiber are made from parts of wheat plants that are not used for food, like leaves and stalks, making them gluten-free.

This wheat straw, like sugarcane bagasse is a byproduct of farming that would typically be thrown out or burned. Using plant fiber provides a new revenue for farmers, protects forests, and uses less energy and fewer toxic chemicals than paper alternatives.
