Wholesale Custom Pizza Hut Pizza Box 12 Inche Pizza Box 9 Inch Pizza Box,1000 Pieces
Skip until coating is disclosed, pizza boxes commonly use PFAS-based grease barriers.
This is a standard pizza box with water and grease-resistant coating, but Huhtamaki provides no public disclosure of the specific coating chemistry. Pizza box linings historically rely on PFAS-based treatments (like PFOA or GenX alternatives) to repel oils.

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.
