Actually good question....

I don't know what goes into the waterproof coating on paper plates but I wouldn't be that surprised if it did contain gluten. Sometimes it just seems like the world is out to get us.... I think you would be OK but I can't promise!

there are no stupid questions... I get the plain ol paper plates that aren't coated in anything, and haven't had any problems, but you can always contact the manufacturer if you have doubts.

they are probably fine, but like I said... just contact the mfr. if you are in doubt... sure they may think you are silly, but you have a valid question and if they don't know the answer, you don't want to use their product...

why am I awake at this time of night????

Well, since we're asking silly questions, how about those little lube/ lotion/ moisture strips on razor blades??

I'm being serious.

Great - what about stryofoam? I know the bad stuff about the environment, but sometimes when camping, it is just easier.

Corn, gluten, soy? Are they really safe when they get hot for those of use with multiple food intolerances? Maybe I get my own plate and everyone else uses disposable--we have to wash the pots anyway.

I believe the coating on paper plates comes from corn.

That is kind of what I thought, after I saw this thread and it explains why I ended up sick over the weekend camping. I had forgotten!!! Stupid mistakes are going to be what kill me...

Polystyrene foam plates do not contain gluten, I worked at a factory that makes plates for hefty and several store chains for 3 years and my husband has worked there for 10 years. They are fine.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
