What’s concerning
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Advertised as non-stick but coating type is not explained.
Category baseline
PFAS exposure happens more often with clothing products.
No PFAS disclosure
The company has not publicly discussed PFAS in this product.
Non-stick coating degradation with heat
Unknown coating chemistry means heat threshold is ambiguous. If the coating includes any Teflon-type coating-like Teflon-family coating, heating above safe limits could release fumes; silicone or wax coatings are stable but may degrade and shed particles if overheated.
Coating leachables into fatty foods
Fat and oil can accelerate migration of coating polymers or slip agents into food. Without knowing whether the coating is silicone, wax, or fluorinated, the leach risk cannot be quantified, but contact with fatty foods (meats, butter) should be brief.
Microparticle shedding from worn coating
Repeated use at high temperatures or mechanical wear (crumpling, scrubbing) can cause coating flecking. Particles are likely non-toxic (silicone or wax), but ingestion of coating debris is still undesirable and indicates replacement is needed.
PFAS
Coating chemistry is not disclosed; older or low-cost non-stick parchment formulations may include fluorinated compounds. This is the primary reason for the PFAS grade of 20/100 and the information gap that prevents a buy recommendation.
Source: ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Bleaching residues in paper substrate
Food-grade parchment is typically chlorine-free or TCF (totally chlorine-free) bleached in the U.S., but Kroger does not specify; any residual bleach is minimal and not documented as a concern for parchment in this category.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Great Value parchment paper is bleached cellulose paper with an unspecified non-stick coating. The coating's chemistry is not disclosed on packaging or Kroger's website, which is a significant gap since non-stick parchment coatings typically use silicone, wax, or historically Teflon-type coating-based compounds. Without manufacturer transparency, you cannot confirm whether the coating is silicone (safest), plant-based wax (safe), or fluorinated (PFAS risk). The paper substrate itself poses minimal risk, but the coating is the entire safety question here.
The brand's record and disclosure
Kroger's Great Value brand does not publicly disclose parchment coating chemistry or PFAS testing results for this product. Kroger has made general sustainability commitments but has not issued category-specific material transparency statements for non-stick food-contact products. No recalls or safety violations are on record for this specific parchment roll. The silent stance on coating composition is the core concern, as major competitors (If You Care, Kirkland) explicitly state their non-stick formulations.
How it compares in its category
Parchment paper as a category is generally lower-risk than non-stick cookware or plastic film, because it contacts food only briefly and typically at moderate temperatures. Great Value's opaque coating formula puts it behind competitors who disclose silicone (If You Care) or beeswax (Greenline) coatings. It is comparable in price and function to store brands from other retailers, most of which also lack full disclosure, making this a category-wide transparency issue rather than a Kroger-specific failure.
If you buy it
Use this parchment only up to 420 degrees Fahrenheit (manufacturer recommendation typically 420-450F for parchment; heat above this risks coating degradation or fume release if Teflon-type coating is present). Replace the roll if you notice coating peeling, discoloration, or any odor when heated. Do not use in direct contact with very acidic foods (vinegar, citrus) for extended periods, as acidity can degrade coatings. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature coating breakdown.
