Wheat Straw

As a rule of thumb, anything that goes into the mouth should be evaluated for gluten content. Many brands of straws made from wheat straw are gluten-free because straw is the stalk left over after the gluten-containing grain is harvested. Some straws sourced from wheat straw have tested at levels below the FDA’s 20 ppm cut-off. Even though the potential for cross-contact exists, it is unlikely, yet it makes sense to be cautious and ask questions!

There will come a time where you begin to feel liberated and find food freedom again! It's a process that often comes in waves; it isn't a linear process and it looks different for everyone. 🍎 Find gluten-free foods you truly enjoy & eat them often! 🙏 Honor your cravings (within reason of course). ☯️ Eat a balanced diet. 🙌 Honor your body & relationship to food by remembering your purpose for becoming gluten-free. 👩‍🍳Engage in safe social gatherings.

The word “malt” in both of these ingredients can cause confusion since malt usually comes from barley, and barley is not gluten-free. 🤔🔍 However, both maltose and maltodextrin are gluten-free 👌 Maltose is a type of sugar and is inherently gluten-free. Maltodextrin is a thickener, flavor enhancer, or filler that can be derived from a variety of starches including corn, potato, rice, or wheat. Even when derived from wheat, maltodextrin is so highly processed that it is gluten-free. 🙌 Potato Rice, Flavor Enhancers, Barley, Potato, Corn

FALCPA

While rye and barley are not part of FALCPA* like wheat is, they're usually listed as such so they're easy to identify. Malt, malt extract, malt vinegar, and brewers yeast, however, as derivatives of rye and barley can be a little more tricky to spot. All derivatives of wheat will be clearly indicated in accordance with FDA regulations. *Food Allergy Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004
