Butcher & Packer · Grease-Resistant Paper Goods
Bryco Goods 18 x 150 Kraft Paper Roll
Lower concern. Unbleached kraft paper typically PFAS-free.
Kraft paper roll with no stated coating or waterproofing. Bare kraft paper is inherently low PFAS risk, though some food-contact papers may use grease-resistant treatments. No brand disclosure available.

Why this grade

Category baseline
food packaging is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is unbleached kraft paper, made from wood pulp processed via the kraft (sulfate) method. Unlike bleached papers, it avoids chlorine-based bleaching chemicals and their byproducts. The unbleached nature means lower processing chemical residue; kraft paper's strength comes from longer wood fibers, not chemical reinforcement. No coating is disclosed, so the surface is raw cellulose.
The brand's record and disclosure
Butcher & Packer is a food-service supply brand with limited public safety disclosures. No recalls or controversies specific to this product are documented. The brand does not publicly disclose PFAS testing or certification status, which is common for smaller food-packaging suppliers. No third-party certifications (compostability, food-contact compliance) are evident in publicly available materials.
How it compares in its category
Unbleached kraft paper is a safer choice than coated papers (which may contain hidden PFAS) or recycled papers (which carry microcontaminant risk). It sits mid-range in food wrapping: better than plastic films for VOC concerns, but less barrier protection than parchment. It is widely used in butcher shops and bakeries without incident, indicating practical safety in typical food-contact roles.
If you buy it
Use it for dry foods, baked goods, and room-temperature wrapping. Avoid prolonged contact with greasy foods, as uncoated kraft absorbs oils and can degrade. Do not use as oven liner or direct heat contact; kraft ignites around 450F. Store rolls in dry conditions; moisture degrades the paper and can promote mold. Replace if discoloration, brittleness, or odor develops.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Ink or dye residue (surface printing)
The product listing shows no printed branding or colored ink on the surface. If future batches are printed, verify compliance with FDA food-contact ink standards (29 CFR 176.170).
Recycled paper contaminants (microplastics, heavy metals)
Unbleached kraft from virgin wood pulp carries minimal risk. If the product is made from recycled content, this hazard tier would rise; current product specification does not disclose recycled content.
Mold or microbial growth if stored damp
Paper rolls stored in humid conditions can develop mold before use. This is a storage and handling risk, not a manufacturing defect. Inspect before use and store in dry location.
Chlorine dioxide or bleaching residue
Unbleached kraft avoids chlorine bleaching. Standard kraft processing may use small amounts of hydrogen peroxide for brightening, but residues are negligible in food-contact applications.
Mineral oil or slip agents on paper surface
Some commercial food papers use mineral oil or silicone slip agents; this product carries no disclosed coating. No public complaints or test data suggest this risk.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
