UUDULY · Grease-Resistant Butcher & Deli Paper
UUDULY Butcher Paper Roll
Likely lower concern; food contact limits PFAS exposure.
Butcher paper typically uses lower-risk coatings, though grease resistance historically relied on fluorochemicals. Huhtamaki provides no PFAS disclosure and no third-party verification exists.

What UUDULY Butcher Paper Roll is made of, ingredients and materials
UUDULY butcher paper is kraft (unbleached wood pulp) with a grease-resistant coating, typically silicone or wax-based on commodity butcher paper. Kraft paper itself is inert and food-safe at normal use temperatures. The coating's job is to prevent oil and moisture penetration during storage and wrapping of fresh or cured meats. Unlike plastic films, kraft paper does not leach plasticizers, BPA, or phthalates into food.
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
Grease-resistant treatment is likely silicone, wax, or synthetic polymer; manufacturer does not disclose exact chemistry. Risk of migration is low at ambient food-contact temperatures but unknown without full ingredient disclosure.
Source, ATSDR ↗Ink or printing contaminants
If printed side contacts food directly, inks may leach solvents or heavy metals. Use printed side outward; most butcher-paper users wrap with printed side facing away from meat.
Mold or bacterial growth if wet-stored
Kraft paper absorbs moisture in humid conditions, risking mold growth that degrades food safety. Store rolls in dry environments and discard if exposed to standing water.
What’s reassuring
Bleach residues or chlorine compounds
UUDULY is unbleached kraft, so oxygen-bleaching byproducts are minimal risk. Huhtamaki's food-contact certification implies residual chlorine levels meet FDA limits.
Heavy metals
Kraft paper may contain talc, kaolin, or calcium carbonate as fillers. No specific testing of UUDULY has been published; Huhtamaki's certifications assume such additives are food-grade and non-toxic.

The brand's record and disclosure
Huhtamaki is a global food-packaging manufacturer with ISO 22000 (food safety) and FSSC 22000 certifications for most product lines. The company maintains compliance with FDA and EU food-contact material regulations. However, Huhtamaki has not published specific PFAS reduction commitments or third-party testing data for this SKU. No recalls or contamination incidents are recorded for UUDULY butcher paper.
How it compares in its category
Kraft butcher paper is the standard baseline for meat wrapping and poses fewer chemical risks than plastic-lined alternatives or bleached parchment with unspecified coatings. Some premium competitors market PFAS-free coatings explicitly; UUDULY does not. Compared to generic uncoated kraft, the grease-resistant treatment adds utility but introduces a coating variable that may or may not include fluorinated compounds.
If you buy it
Use for room-temperature wrapping and storage of fresh meats, deli products, and baked goods. Kraft paper's heat limit is roughly 200°C (392°F); do not use for direct oven contact or high-heat cooking. Replace rolls if paper yellows, tears, or develops odors. Store in cool, dry conditions to prevent moisture degradation of the coating.
