Kraft Grease Resistant Bags 5.9" x 7.9" 100 qty Racetopprint
Skip until coating source is transparent, grease-resistant food packaging is a common PFAS application.
Kraft grease-resistant bags typically rely on fluorochemical coatings to repel oils and moisture. Footprint discloses nothing about the specific coating chemistry or PFAS status. Without third-party testing, lab data, or an explicit PFAS-free claim, this product carries inherent risk standard to the category.

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.
