Celebrate It Mega Roll Parchment Paper
Parchment typically uses silicone, not PFAS, but unconfirmed here.
Standard parchment likely has silicone rather than fluorochemical coating. Brand provides no PFAS statement. Moderate concern due to unverified information.

What Celebrate It Mega Roll Parchment Paper is made of, ingredients and materials
Celebrate It Mega Roll Parchment Paper is bleached paper substrate with a silicone-based nonstick coating. Silicone is a non-reactive polymer not classified as a persistent bioaccumulative toxin under normal food contact. The bleaching process may use chlorine or oxygen-based agents; Ahold has not disclosed which method is used for this product. The paper itself is food-grade virgin fiber, which does not leach into acidic or fatty foods at typical oven temperatures.
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.
Silicone coating stability and microparticle shedding
Silicone is heat-stable to ~420°C but degrades at higher temperatures; visible darkening or cracking of paper indicates coating breakdown. No regulatory limit exists for silicone microparticles in food, but mechanical abrasion (crumpling, repeated folding) may accelerate shedding into food contact surfaces.
Teflon-family coating or Teflon-type coating additives in silicone formulation
Silicone coatings sometimes include minor Teflon-type coating or fluorine-based slip agents to enhance nonstick durability. Ahold does not disclose additive chemistry; however, silicone-only formulations are now industry standard. Without coating composition transparency, presence cannot be ruled out but is unlikely in mass-market food-grade parchment.
Coating degradation under repeated heating cycles
Parchment paper reuse at high temperatures (above 400°F) across multiple uses can cause visible yellowing and coating adhesion loss. This is cosmetic and functional degradation rather than toxicity, but signals end-of-life and suggests discontinuation of that sheet.
What’s reassuring
Bleaching agents residue
Ahold does not disclose whether oxygen or chlorine bleaching is used. FDA-approved bleaching agents (sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide) are removed during processing; no established residue concern exists for parchment paper in this product category.
Bleach migration into acidic foods
Residual chlorine compounds from bleaching are not documented in FDA testing of parchment paper food contact. Acidic foods (citrus, vinegar) do not solubilize paper cellulose under normal baking temperatures, so migration risk is negligible.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Ahold (parent of Food Lion, Giant, Stop & Shop) maintains mainstream food-safety certifications for parchment and does not publish formulation transparency reports for coating additives. No recalls or safety controversies are on record for this specific product line. The brand does not advertise PFAS-free status, nor has it disclosed whether silicone coatings contain Teflon-family coating additives as reinforcement agents, though industry standard silicone formulations do not require PFAS.
How it compares in its category
Parchment paper has lower concern than plastic wrap for food contact during heating because silicone does not volatilize below 200°C. Bleached parchment poses lower chemical leach risk than unbleached versions when used with fatty foods. Ahold's product is competitively positioned in the mass-market segment; specialty brands (If You Care, Ecosafe) publish more detailed coating disclosures but command 2-3x higher price. No evidence suggests Celebrate It parchment is chemically inferior to generic store-brand competitors.
If you buy it
Use up to 420°F (215°C); silicone begins degradation above this. Do not reuse heavily creased or darkened sheets, as coating breakdown may accelerate leaching. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent coating brittleness. Replace the roll every 6-12 months if stored in humid conditions; silicone absorbs moisture and may lose nonstick properties, signaling potential microscopic coating flaking.
