Good Cook · Parchment Paper & Baking Liners
8 Sheets Good Cook Parchment Paper 12 X 16 White
Typical parchment with undisclosed coating chemistry poses moderate PFAS risk.
Good Cook's parchment uses a typical grease-resistant coating, but the company doesn't confirm whether it contains PFOA, Teflon-type coating, or other PFAS. Teflon-family coating coatings are standard in parchment for nonstick function, creating uncertain risk without lab testing or a PFAS-free statement.
