Parchment Paper Genuine Vegetable Food Safe
Skip unless Beyond Gourmet discloses their coating chemistry, PFAS risk unclear.
Beyond Gourmet's parchment claims 'vegetable food safe' but does not disclose the silicone or resin coating formulation. Parchment often uses fluorocarbon barriers for grease resistance; without transparent spec sheets or third-party testing, you cannot rule out legacy PFAS or replacement Teflon-family coating.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
food packaging is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
