Pit Boss Butcher Paper Roll 67294
Skip. Grease-resistant coating source undisclosed; PFAS risk unclear.
Pit Boss butcher paper has a water and grease-resistant treatment, but the brand does not disclose the coating chemistry. Grease-resistant food packaging often contains PFAS; without transparency, risk cannot be ruled out.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Pit Boss Butcher Paper Roll 67294 is cellulose-based paper with an applied water and grease-resistant coating. The base material (wood pulp paper) is food-safe and inert when not heated. The coating chemistry is not disclosed by Compactor; grease-resistant coatings on butcher paper historically rely on fluorinated compounds (PFAS) or silicone-based alternatives, and the manufacturer does not specify which. This opacity is the primary safety concern.
The brand's record and disclosure
Compactor has not published transparency statements on PFAS use or coating composition for this product line. No independent certifications (NSF, FDA migration testing results, or PFAS-free claims) are associated with this roll on public record. The brand's silence on a known category risk (fluorinated coatings in food-contact paper) limits confidence in safety assumptions. This contrasts with competitors who explicitly state PFAS-free formulations.
How it compares in its category
Standard butcher paper rolls fall into two coating classes: PFAS-based (cheaper, widely available) and PFAS-free alternatives (silicone, wax, clay-based). Pit Boss 67294 is not marketed as PFAS-free and lacks third-party verification. Branded alternatives (Kirkland, Wraps.com PFAS-free lines) offer explicit coating disclosure. For this price tier, Pit Boss is typical commodity butcher paper, but its coating source is unverified.
If you buy it
Use for room-temperature food wrapping and storage only; do not expose to direct heat above 140F (60C) or place directly on grill grates or in ovens, as coating degradation increases chemical migration risk. Replace rolls annually or sooner if coating shows visible wear, discoloration, or grease seepage. Store in cool, dry conditions to minimize degradation. For smoking or high-heat applications, use uncoated kraft paper or PFAS-free certified alternatives.
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.”
PFAS in grease-resistant coating
Water/grease-resistant coating source not disclosed by manufacturer. Fluorinated compounds are standard in this product category; migration risk increases with heat, acid (tomato), or fat contact. Undisclosed formulation prevents definitive assessment.
Microplastics or coating fragments from heat stress
If coating contains synthetic polymers (silicone, polyethylene, or Teflon-family coating), exposure to heat or mechanical stress (crumpling, extended storage) may degrade coating and release microscopic particles into food. No data on Pit Boss 67294 durability under typical use.
Bleaching agent residues
Butcher paper is typically whitened using chlorine or oxygen-based bleaching. FDA migration limits exist for paper food contact, and Pit Boss is a commodity product subject to these rules. No specific recalls or violations on record for this SKU, but standard paper safety hazards apply.
Migration from coating into fatty or acidic foods
Coatings on butcher paper are not chemically bonded to cellulose and can leach into high-fat or acidic foods over time or with heat. Risk is low for short-term storage but increases with prolonged contact (days) or temperatures above 120F.
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.
