Stock Your Home 12 x 12 Grease Proof Deli Pre Cut Natural Wax Paper Sheets
Lower concern, but grease-resistant wax treatment remains unspecified.
Wax-coated food paper typically uses plant-based waxes with lower PFAS risk than synthetic Teflon-family coating. The retailer provides no PFAS disclosure, and natural wax suggests reduced concern without full confirmation.

What Stock Your Home 12 x 12 Wax Paper Sheets is made of, ingredients and materials
Stock Your Home deli paper consists of kraft paper coated with a wax layer to repel grease and moisture. The coating chemistry is not publicly detailed by Target, but typical food-service wax paper uses either mineral-based paraffin wax or plant-derived waxes (soy, palm). The wax serves as a moisture and grease barrier, preventing oil transfer to hands or surfaces during food storage and handling. Without detailed ingredient disclosure, the exact wax formulation and any additives (release agents, plasticizers, or processing aids) cannot be independently verified.
What’s concerning
Disclosed non-fluorinated coating
Coating is named and is not a fluorochemical (wax, paraffin, mink oil).
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.
Unspecified wax additives and processing residues
Without public ingredient disclosure, potential additives in the wax (solvents, slip agents, or degradation byproducts) cannot be ruled out. Food-contact wax papers are regulated by FDA, but this product's formulation details are not available for independent review.
Thermal degradation and wax migration at elevated temperatures
Paraffin and plant waxes soften or melt above 120-150°F. If used with warm foods or near heat, wax compounds may migrate into fatty foods, though this remains within typical food-service expectations for this product type.
What’s reassuring
Paper fiber and mineral contamination
No recalls or reported incidents of glass, wood, or mineral fragments in Stock Your Home deli paper. Standard kraft paper manufacturing includes quality controls for this category.
Microplastic shedding
Wax-coated paper does not release plastic microparticles as plastic wrap or synthetic parchment may. The wax layer is inert when not heated.
Allergen or fragrance residues from manufacturing
No documented allergen warnings or fragrance additives are listed for this product. Food-service deli papers are typically unscented and allergen-neutral.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Target's Store Brand (Stock Your Home line) has not published detailed material safety or ingredient transparency reports for this product category. Target does not prominently certify deli paper products under third-party food-contact standards (FDA compliance is assumed but not detailed in marketing). No significant recalls or safety controversies are documented for this specific SKU. The brand's silence on wax type and PFAS use in grease-resistant coatings reflects a common industry practice of minimal disclosure on commodity food-service items.
How it compares in its category
Wax paper is a standard, lower-risk alternative to plastic wrap or silicone-coated parchment for deli use. Unlike plastic films, wax paper does not shed microplastics when heated or handled. Compared to some commercial butcher papers treated with PFOA-containing Teflon-family coating coatings, traditional wax paper carries a lower PFAS risk profile, though the specific wax type here is unconfirmed. Most deli papers in this price segment lack full chemical transparency, making Stock Your Home typical rather than a leader in disclosure.
If you buy it
Use this product for room-temperature and moderate-warmth food contact (wrapping deli meats, cheeses, baked goods). Avoid direct flame or high-heat cooking (wax will melt above 120-150°F depending on wax type). Replace sheets after 6-12 months of storage or if the wax coating begins to crack, peel, or appear discolored. Dispose of greasy or heavily soiled sheets in household waste; do not compost if treated with synthetic additives. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent wax breakdown.
