Harold Imports Parchment Paper Roll
Skip for PFAS peace of mind; parchment paper grease-resistance relies on unknown coating composition.
Parchment paper is typically silicone-coated for grease and heat resistance. Harold Imports doesn't publicly disclose coating chemistry or PFAS status.

What Harold Imports Parchment Paper Roll is made of, ingredients and materials
Harold Imports parchment paper is cellulose base stock coated with silicone to create a non-stick, grease-resistant surface. The silicone layer prevents food from adhering and enables easy release from baking surfaces. The specific silicone formulation and any additives or cross-linkers in that coating are not publicly disclosed by Regency, which is typical for this product category but limits independent verification of what leaches under heat.
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 leaching at high heat
Undisclosed silicone formulation may release oligomers or additives when exposed to prolonged heat above 420°F; risk rises with repeated or prolonged contact to fatty foods.
Microparticle shedding from coating degradation
Aged, reused, or overheated parchment may shed fine silicone particles into food; risk increases with mechanical wear or browning visible on the surface.
Undisclosed additives in silicone formulation
Silicone coatings commonly include cross-linkers, surfactants, or anti-blocking agents that are not listed on consumer packaging; Regency provides no ingredient transparency.
What’s reassuring
Bleach residues in cellulose base
No public record of bleach contamination in Harold Imports parchment, but standard bleached parchment may retain chlorine residues; Regency does not publish whitening or bleach-processing details.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Regency does not publicly disclose PFAS testing, certification claims, or ingredient sourcing for this parchment product. The company provides no transparency on whether their silicone coating contains legacy per- or polyfluorinated compounds, which are common in older parchment formulations as grease barriers. No major recalls or third-party testing of this specific product line have been published in open sources.
How it compares in its category
Standard parchment paper relies on silicone coating, making Regency typical rather than exceptional. Brands like If You Care market unbleached parchment and disclose silicone sourcing more openly; silicone-free alternatives (kraft paper, beeswax cloth) exist but perform differently at high heat. Regency parchment offers mid-range pricing and availability but does not differentiate on chemical transparency.
If you buy it
Use at temperatures below 420°F (manufacturers often cite 420-450°F as temperature limits for silicone-coated parchment). Replace the sheet if you see browning, brittleness, or coating flaking. Do not reuse excessively or for prolonged storage of fatty foods; silicone can gradually leach into high-fat items over time. Hand wash rather than run through high-heat dishwashers if reusing scraps.
