What it does
Small brown disposable plates molded from sugarcane fiber, sold by GUSTO, the brand formerly called Comfy Package, in a pack of 125.
- Heavy-duty molded plate with a wide, raised rim
- GUSTO describes it as cut and leak resistant for saucy food
- No plastic or wax lining, per the maker
- Sold in the same line as 9 and 10 inch plates, bowls and compartment plates
- A white version is sold separately
A sturdy side and dessert plate for parties and picnics if you want to skip plastic coated paper. The trade-off is information: GUSTO's page states no BPI certification, no PFAS-free claim and no composting timeline, so buyers who need certified compostable plates for a city program should look at a certified brand.

Questions
Is GUSTO the same as Comfy Package?
Yes. GUSTO's listings say the brand was formerly Comfy Package, and this 125 pack sits under the same Amazon listing.
Are GUSTO sugarcane plates BPI certified or PFAS-free?
GUSTO's product page does not state BPI certification or a PFAS-free claim. Ask the seller if either matters to you.
Can these plates go in a home compost?
GUSTO says they are compostable and biodegradable but does not say whether that means home or commercial composting. Compostable plate guides note that bagasse plates are typically certified for industrial composting.
Can they hold hot food?
Yes. GUSTO lists them for hot and cold foods.
