PFAS score
Deli King · Grease-Resistant Butcher Paper
Deli Paper Rolls for Food
Skip until coating transparency improves; deli paper often contains PFAS.
Deli King does not disclose coating chemistry. Food-contact deli papers frequently use fluorinated grease barriers for performance, raising PFAS concern without clarity from the brand.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
