What Parchment Liners 60ct Favorite Day is made of, ingredients and materials
Favorite Day parchment liners are cellulose paper treated with a grease-resistant coating, likely silicone-based or wax-derived rather than fluorinated compounds. The paper substrate itself is inert at typical baking temperatures (under 420°F). The coating's primary function is moisture and grease barrier, which means it must remain stable and not migrate into food during normal use. Silicone coatings are generally food-safe when properly formulated, but the specific chemistry of the grease-resistant treatment is not disclosed by Target.
What’s concerning
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.

No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
PFAS
Target does not disclose whether the water and grease-resistant treatment uses fluorinated compounds, silicone, or wax. If silicone-based, risk is minimal; if fluorinated without PFAS (e.g., older fluorocarbon types), leaching potential exists but is unconfirmed for this product at typical baking temperatures.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating migration at elevated temperatures
If liners are used above 450°F or directly over flame, the grease-resistant coating could theoretically soften or migrate. Standard oven use (under 425°F) poses minimal risk, but broiler or open-flame use is not recommended by most parchment manufacturers.
What’s reassuring
Cellulose paper degradation over time
Paper substrate itself is food-safe and inert. No documented instances of cellulose breakdown releasing harmful compounds into food at standard baking temperatures. Risk of mold or microbial growth increases only if stored damp or for extended periods.
Allergen or additive undisclosure
No known allergens or restricted substances (e.g., formaldehyde, BPA) are used in parchment paper coatings. However, Favorite Day's lack of detailed ingredient labeling means trace additives in the coating or paper bleaching agents are not publicly disclosed.
Microplastic shedding
Parchment paper is not a plastic product and does not shed microplastics. The silicone or wax coating may shed microscopic particles if abraded extensively, but this is not documented as a health concern at typical use volumes.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Target's Favorite Day line is a store brand with limited public transparency on chemical formulations or third-party certifications for this specific product. Target has not published explicit statements about PFAS avoidance in parchment products, and no recalls or safety alerts for these liners are on record. The brand does not provide Certificate of Analysis or detailed ingredient sourcing data typical of premium specialty brands, reflecting a cost-driven approach to disclosure rather than established safety issues.
How it compares in its category
Parchment liners are among the lowest-risk food-contact packaging in the cookware and baking category, ranking below non-stick cookware (Teflon-type coating risk) and ceramic bakeware (lead in glazes). Budget store brands like Favorite Day are chemically equivalent to mid-range supermarket alternatives; they lack certifications (compostability, FSC sourcing, PFAS-free) that premium brands offer. The main differentiation is disclosure transparency, not inherent safety, making this product middle-of-road for the category.
If you buy it
Use these liners at temperatures up to the manufacturer's stated limit (typically 420-450°F); do not reuse excessively or expose to direct flame. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent coating degradation or mold growth on the paper. Replace liners after visible wear, discoloration, or exposure to extreme heat. Composting presents lower concern if the coating is silicone-based; however, confirmation of compostability is not available on packaging, so standard waste disposal is the conservative approach.
