Lower concern. Parchment paper typically has minimal PFAS risk.
Parchment paper is cellulose-based with minimal documented PFAS use. Standard food-contact parchment carries low risk; no brand claim available for verification.

What Amazon.com: Parchment Black Decker, Em is made of, ingredients and materials
Parchment paper is cellulose (plant fiber) coated with silicone or clay to create a non-stick, heat-resistant surface. Unlike plastic wrap or aluminum foil, cellulose does not leach BPA, phthalates, or microplastics when heated to typical toaster-oven temperatures (below 420°F). The silicone coating is inert at normal cooking heat and does not off-gas volatile organic compounds the way some plastic films do.
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.
Silicone coating integrity at high heat
Silicone coatings are stable below 420°F; exposure above this threshold could theoretically lead to coating degradation, though no documented cases of silicone migration into food from parchment paper have been recorded in consumer use.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Bleaching residues (if bleached variant)
Bleached parchment paper may contain trace chlorine residues from the bleaching process, but no regulatory testing or recalls document harmful migration into food at toaster-oven temperatures.
BPA & bisphenols
Cellulose fiber itself does not contain BPA or phthalates. Silicone and clay coatings do not require these chemicals. No testing data or recalls indicate their presence in Cuisinart or standard parchment paper products.
Source, FDA ↗Thermal decomposition or off-gassing
Parchment paper is designed to resist temperatures up to approximately 420°F without decomposing. No volatile organic compounds or harmful fumes have been documented from this product under normal toaster-oven use.
Microplastic shedding
Parchment paper is cellulose-based and does not shed microplastics the way plastic films or coatings can. The silicone layer does not fragment into small particles during normal heating or food contact.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Cuisinart does not publicly disclose manufacturing details, testing results, or certifications specific to this parchment product. No recalls or safety alerts have been recorded for Cuisinart parchment paper sheets. The company does not appear to have published statements on PFAS use in this product category, which is typical for parchment manufacturers.
How it compares in its category
Parchment paper is among the lowest-concern single-use food contact materials. It poses fewer chemical leaching risks than plastic storage containers, reusable silicone mats (which may off-gas at high heat), or non-stick cookware coatings. Compared to aluminum foil, parchment avoids aluminum leaching but generates slightly more waste. Its main advantage is its inability to shed microplastics or release endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
If you buy it
Use sheets at temperatures up to the stated limit (typically 420°F for standard parchment). Replace sheets if visibly degraded, scorched, or torn, as damage can allow food contact with the underlying coating. Do not reuse excessively; parchment is designed for single or limited reuse. Store in a dry place away from direct heat to prevent brittleness.
