Huhtamaki · Grease-Resistant Deli & Butcher Paper
Grease Proof Basket Liner Deli Sheets (white, 12"x12" - 100ct)
Skip; grease-resistant food packaging often uses PFAS. No safety disclosure.
Huhtamaki does not disclose coating composition or PFAS status. Grease-resistant food-contact paper typically contains fluorinated treatments; safer alternatives exist.

No public statement about PFAS in this product.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
These are bleached kraft paper sheets with a grease-resistant coating applied to the surface. The coating composition is not disclosed by Huhtamaki on packaging or standard product specs. Grease-resistant food contact papers typically use either wax, silicone, or fluorochemical (PFAS) coatings; without manufacturer transparency, the specific chemistry cannot be confirmed from available sources. Direct food contact at high temperatures or with fatty foods increases any potential migration risk from coatings into food.
The brand's record and disclosure
Huhtamaki is a large multinational food packaging manufacturer with no publicly available commitment to PFAS-free formulations or detailed coating ingredient disclosures for this product line. The company has not published third-party certifications for PFAS absence in its grease-proof papers. Industry practice shows many manufacturers in this category use legacy fluorochemical technologies without transparent labeling, suggesting precaution is warranted.
How it compares in its category
Grease-proof deli liners are a competitive category where PFAS prevalence is documented in regulatory investigations but not universally adopted. Some alternatives use certified non-PFAS coatings (e.g., plant-based or silicon-based), though these are often clearly marketed; lack of such claims from Huhtamaki is a yellow flag. Uncoated parchment or certified compostable alternatives exist but may not perform equally in high-grease applications.
If you buy it
Do not use above 180°F or in direct contact with hot fatty foods; use as a barrier layer only. Inspect sheets for visible coating degradation, flaking, or discoloration before use, especially if stored in high humidity. Replace immediately if coating appears worn or compromised. Consider rotating stock to minimize shelf aging, as coating adhesion can degrade over time.
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
Grease-resistant food packaging commonly uses fluorochemical coatings; Huhtamaki provides no public confirmation of coating chemistry. Migration into fatty foods is a known pathway for PFAS exposure from such papers.
Coating migration to food
Unknown polymer or chemical additives in the grease coating may migrate into food, especially fatty products. Risk increases with heat and prolonged contact; specific migration testing data for this product is not publicly available.
Bleached paper residues
Food-grade bleached paper is widely approved and residual chlorine or bleach byproducts are tightly regulated in food contact materials. No specific contamination issues are documented for Huhtamaki deli liners.
Coating degradation over time
Grease-resistant coatings on paper degrade with age, humidity, and temperature exposure. Visual flaking or loss of grease resistance indicates the coating integrity is compromised and the product should be discarded.
Ink or printing contaminants
Standard food-contact approved inks are used on commercial deli liners. No specific recalls or contamination reports for this brand in this product line are on record.
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.
