Does Sipahh contain artificial sweetener?
There is no Aspartame in our straws, however we do add a small amount of sucralose to each straw.
The philosophy of the Sipahh brand is to get kids to enjoy more milk and less sugar every day. To ensure that kids are enjoying the recipe, a certain level of sweetness is required. We have reduced the amount of sugar in the straws as we believe this promotes a healthy diet for kids, however, this is at the expense of the overall sweetness of the recipe. To ensure that kids are still enjoying the recipe, an artificial sweetener is employed to make up the additional sweetness.
This artificial sweetener, is Sucralose, which has been approved for use by the World Health Organization, the FDA, FSANZ and a number of other international food safety regulatory bodies. It is non-caloric, which means that it is not metabolised by the human body and it is around 600 times sweeter than sugar, which means that only small amounts are required (between 0.2 and 0.5 % in Sipahh straws) to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
We are always on the lookout for a better natural alternative for Sucralose and we are currently investigating monk fruit. We will keep you updated on our progress!
Does Sipahh Contain Artificial Colours or Flavours?
No, Sipahh doesn’t contain any artificial colours or flavours. The three digit codes in the ingredient list are international codes for food additives. A common misconception among the general public is that all those numbered additives are artificial. That is not so. Some additives are natural others are artificial.
In our case the e.g banana colour is Turmeric, which is also used as a spice in cooking, the Caramel colour is Caramel and Turmeric.
Does Sipahh Contain Preservatives?
No, Sipahh doesn’t contain preservatives. Sipahh does have a special flow wrap though, that was specifically designed to help the straws stay fresh.
Is Sipahh approved by School Canteens?
Sipahh is Green Light in all states and territories as long as it is served with reduced fat milk (except SA). The reason we are not classified as green in SA is because there is a small amount of artificial sweetener in our straws.
Is Sipahh Low Glycemic Index (GI ) ?
Sipahh contains a very small amount of carbohydrate per serving and on its own does not fit into the category of carbohydrate foods for GI testing in Australia.
At what age can Sipahh start to be consumed?
Children can start enjoying Sipahh as soon as they are able to drink from a straw and consume cow’s milk or alternative beverages such as a soy drink, rice or goat’s milk. Straw drinking is a learned skill and it is difficult to set an average age of proficiency. Most children should be able to drink from a Sipahh straw from 12-18 months of age, however they may not be able to consume the full recommended serving size of 250-300ml of milk in one sitting. It is advisable to supervise young children when they are consuming any type of food or drink

Sipahh packaging has three components. These are:
