Paper straws are popular as we become more focused on sustainability. Podcast listener Stacy Wilz wondered if they're safe after seeing the question in a Facebook group.

Gluten Free Watchdog has tested paper straws in the past and has stated: “there is no evidence that paper straws contain wheat starch.”

Obviously, there are straws to avoid:

•Straws made from wheat or rye straw (these are the stems of the wheat or rye plant, the stem does not naturally contain gluten, however there is a very high risk of cross-contact, stay tuned for test results on wheat straws.)

•Pasta straws

•Cookie straws
