Whole Foods 365 · Parchment Paper & Baking Liners
Bright Essentials Parchment Paper
Parchment typically carries lower PFAS risk, but coating source remains unknown.
Parchment paper is often coated with silicone rather than Teflon-family coating, suggesting lower PFAS concern. Whole Foods makes no PFAS disclosure, so check the specific product label for coating details.
