· Grease-Resistant Butcher & Deli Paper
9x12" Natural Grease Resistant Sheets, 3 Packs of 1000 (3,000/Case)
Avoid until the brand reveals coating details and PFAS test results.
These grease-resistant sheets likely use fluorochemical coatings that may contain PFAS. The manufacturer provides no material information, testing data, or independent verification.

What 9x12" Natural Grease (3,000/Case) is made of, ingredients and materials
These are paper or pulp-based sheets with an unspecified grease-resistant coating applied to the surface. The coating chemistry is not disclosed by the brand, which is the critical gap here. Grease-resistant food-contact coatings have historically relied on fluorinated compounds (PFAS) or mineral-oil-based alternatives; without knowing which, you cannot assess migration risk into fatty foods. The sheets are sold in bulk (3,000 count), suggesting commercial or high-volume home use, where repeated exposure matters.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Without disclosure of the grease-resistant formulation, non-fluorinated components (e.g., mineral oils, silicones, plasticizers) cannot be ruled out. Migration into fatty or acidic foods is a known route for some coating additives.
Source, ATSDR ↗Microplastic or coating particle shedding
Grease-resistant coatings applied to paper can degrade, especially under heat or mechanical stress (folding, crumpling). Fine particles may shed into food during handling or storage.
Thermal breakdown of coating
Unknown heat tolerance due to lack of coating specification. Unspecified fluorine-free coatings may release volatile organic compounds or break down above 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit, especially if silicone-based.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No evidence specific to sheets; however, food-contact paper products may contain trace formaldehyde from pulp processing or sizing unless explicitly stated as formaldehyde-free.
Source, ATSDR ↗Bacterial growth or moisture retention
No known issues with specifically. Grease-resistant coatings can trap moisture if sheets are stored in humid conditions, potentially supporting mold or bacterial growth on the non-coated side.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
The brand provides no publicly available information on the specific coating formulation, PFAS status, or third-party testing for food-contact safety. The brand does not appear in major food-packaging sustainability databases or certifications (e.g., Green Circle, certification from regulatory bodies). No significant recalls or controversies are on record, but absence of proactive transparency is itself a red flag in a category where PFAS contamination has become a documented public health concern.
How it compares in its category
Grease-resistant food sheets compete with parchment paper (silicone-coated, PFAS-free alternatives available), butcher paper (uncoated), and branded products from established manufacturers who openly declare PFAS-free status or fluorine-free certifications. The brand's blank disclosure stance places it below competitors willing to share coating details or seek third-party verification. Bulk pricing may attract cost-conscious buyers, but it does not offset the chemical-safety blind spot.
If you buy it
Do not use with high-fat foods (oils, butter, fatty meats) until coating composition is confirmed. Avoid temperatures above 350 degrees Fahrenheit unless explicitly permitted by the manufacturer. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent coating degradation or leaching. Consider switching to parchment paper or explicitly PFAS-free alternatives from brands that disclose their chemistry; the price difference is often minimal and eliminates uncertainty.
