Chick-fil-A ~ EAT MOR CHIKIN Gift Wrap 10" x 10"
Food packaging coating identity unclear without brand disclosure on PFAS risk.
This gift wrap likely has grease-resistant treatment for food contact. Chick-fil-A does not disclose PFAS status or coating chemistry publicly, making risk assessment dependent on manufacturer transparency.

What Chick-fil-A ~ EAT MOR CHIKIN Gift Wrap is made of, ingredients and materials
This is paper-based gift wrap with a water and grease-resistant coating applied to the surface. The coating's chemical identity is not disclosed by Chick-fil-A; such coatings in food-adjacent paper products commonly contain PFAS (fluorinated compounds) or silicone-based alternatives, though neither can be confirmed here. The paper substrate itself is typically bleached wood pulp with standard dyes and binders, which pose minimal direct hazard for the brief contact time typical of gift wrapping.
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
Water and grease-resistant coatings on paper commonly employ PFAS; Chick-fil-A has not disclosed whether this wrap uses PFAS or silicone alternatives. Exposure risk is low for gift wrapping due to brief contact and no ingestion route, but coating identity remains unknown.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating migration into food upon heat contact
If used to wrap warm foods or placed against heat, coating components could migrate; however, this product is marketed as gift wrap, not food packaging, and brief contact at room temperature poses negligible risk.
What’s reassuring
Printing inks and dyes
Paper gift wrap is printed with brand graphics and the EAT MOR CHIKIN cow logo. Standard food-grade printing inks for paper are regulated and unlikely to migrate under normal gift-wrap use; no recalls or contamination reports are on record for this product type.
Bleach residues and paper processing chemicals
Paper substrate is standard bleached pulp. Residual chlorine or processing additives are minimal and not a concern for non-food contact use. No known hazard reported for branded paper gift wrap of this type.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Chick-fil-A has not publicly disclosed the chemical identity of coatings used in its branded packaging or gift wrap. The company maintains no published commitment to avoiding PFAS in packaging, though it has not been subject to major product safety recalls related to coating chemistry. As a food-service brand, Chick-fil-A is not subject to the same packaging transparency requirements as direct food manufacturers, leaving coating composition opaque to consumers.
How it compares in its category
Branded food-service gift wrap typically uses the same water-resistant coating technology as functional food packaging, meaning PFAS or silicone-based treatments are industry standard. Uncoated paper gift wrap or silicone-coated alternatives exist but are less common in promotional merchandise. This product's risk profile is typical for single-use branded wrapping; it is not a primary food contact surface, which reduces exposure concern compared to direct food packaging like boxes or liners.
If you buy it
Use this wrap for its intended purpose, wrapping gifts or non-food items. Avoid prolonged contact with hot foods or liquids, as heat may accelerate coating degradation. Do not microwave items wrapped in this material. Discard after use; do not reuse for food storage. The product is designed for single-use and brief handling, so standard precautions (handwashing after use) are sufficient.
