What major food allergies does the cup contain?

Hi, Cindy. At this time the recipe does contain gluten. However, they are soy, nut, dairy and egg free.

Amai is a company with exceptional leadership and a brilliant product idea. Their edible Z-cup is fun, practical and a meaningful alternative to plastic waste. There are billions disposable plastic cups sold each year so the market potential for Amai's Z Cup is substantial. Additionally, Amai's solution doesn't produce plastic waste. My own teenage kids love the Amai cups too - my personal market research! Jeannine Davison is a CEO with ample experience and ambition. I have no doubt that under her leadership Amai will achieve its growth goals.
