Lab data

What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Mold or microbial growth if stored damp
Paper rolls stored in humid conditions can develop mold before use. This is a storage and handling risk, not a manufacturing defect. Inspect before use and store in dry location.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Ink or dye residue (surface printing)
The product listing shows no printed branding or colored ink on the surface. If future batches are printed, verify compliance with FDA food-contact ink standards (29 CFR 176.170).
Microplastics
Unbleached kraft from virgin wood pulp carries minimal risk. If the product is made from recycled content, this hazard tier would rise; current product specification does not disclose recycled content.
Source, EPA ↗Chlorine dioxide or bleaching residue
Unbleached kraft avoids chlorine bleaching. Standard kraft processing may use small amounts of hydrogen peroxide for brightening, but residues are negligible in food-contact applications.
Mineral oil or slip agents on paper surface
Some commercial food papers use mineral oil or silicone slip agents; this product carries no disclosed coating. No public complaints or test data suggest this risk.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is unbleached kraft paper, made from wood pulp processed via the kraft (sulfate) method. Unlike bleached papers, it avoids chlorine-based bleaching chemicals and their byproducts. The unbleached nature means lower processing chemical residue; kraft paper's strength comes from longer wood fibers, not chemical reinforcement. No coating is disclosed, so the surface is raw cellulose.
The brand's record and disclosure
Butcher & Packer is a food-service supply brand with limited public safety disclosures. No recalls or controversies specific to this product are documented. The brand does not publicly disclose PFAS testing or certification status, which is common for smaller food-packaging suppliers. No third-party certifications (compostability, food-contact compliance) are evident in publicly available materials.
How it compares in its category
Unbleached kraft paper with no disclosed coating presents lower concern than coated papers (which may contain PFAS) or recycled papers (which may carry microcontaminant risk). It sits mid-range in food wrapping, better than plastic films for VOC concerns, but less barrier protection than parchment. It is widely used in butcher shops and bakeries without incident, indicating practical safety in typical food-contact roles.
If you buy it
Use it for dry foods, baked goods, and room-temperature wrapping. Avoid prolonged contact with greasy foods, as uncoated kraft absorbs oils and can degrade. Do not use as oven liner or direct heat contact; kraft ignites around 450F. Store rolls in dry conditions; moisture degrades the paper and can promote mold. Replace if discoloration, brittleness, or odor develops.
