What Bulk Butcher Paper Industry Supply is made of, ingredients and materials
The brand's product is kraft paper (cellulose fibers bonded under heat and pressure) with an added grease-resistant coating whose chemistry is not disclosed on packaging or standard vendor specs. Grease barriers in food-contact paper are typically achieved via wax, silicone, or fluorinated compounds (PFAS); the coating determines whether this paper migrates harmful substances into fatty meats during storage or transport. Without manufacturer transparency on coating identity, you cannot rule out PFAS or other chemical additives.
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.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Fluorinated coatings (Teflon-type coating or PFOA-class compounds) are a known choice for grease barriers in food-contact paper; without disclosure, presence cannot be ruled out. Migration into fatty meat is documented in scientific literature for some coated papers.

If coating is silicone, wax, or proprietary blend, absence of ingredient transparency means potential additives (plasticizers, pigments, adhesives) cannot be assessed; kraft paper itself is low-risk but the barrier layer is the concern.
What’s reassuring
Microplastics
No recalls or reports of paper shedding particles into meat; kraft paper is stable under normal cold storage. Risk is low if coating is intact.
Source, EPA ↗Ink or printing contaminants
Bulk rolls often carry minimal printing (brand/size only); if printed side contacts meat, food-grade inks are standard in the US and EU, but not verified for this brand.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Kraft paper manufacture does not require formaldehyde resins; risk is low. Coatings may off-gas slightly if stored in warm conditions, but direct food contact is minimal.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand maintains no publicly documented PFAS disclosure policy or third-party food-safety certifications (NSF, FDA premarket approval letters) in available records. The brand does not appear to publish material safety data sheets (MSDS) for this bulk product or communicate coating chemistry to customers. This silence is a red flag in an industry where competitors increasingly market PFAS-free or certified-safe alternatives.
How it compares in its category
Bulk kraft butcher paper is a commodity; competing products from Uline, WebstaurantStore, and regional suppliers increasingly carry explicit 'PFAS-free' or 'compostable' claims. Some manufacturers now use silicone or wax coatings with third-party verification. The brand's lack of differentiation and silent stance places it below market leaders in transparency, though price point may be competitive.
If you buy it
Contact the vendor directly to request coating composition (wax, silicone, or fluorinated) and ask if they have PFAS testing or certifications; many will provide MSDS if pressed. Use the paper for cold storage and short-term wrapping (under 2 weeks); avoid prolonged contact with high-fat cuts or heated environments. Replace rolls that show visible tears, discoloration, or odor. Store in cool, dry conditions to prevent degradation and potential coating leaching.
