Niman Ranch Uncured Sliced Beef Pastrami
Lower concern for this specific product; focus on the meat itself rather than the package.
Niman Ranch sliced pastrami arrives in standard food-packaging plastic film, the type typically used for refrigerated deli meats. No public disclosure from Niman Ranch on PFAS in packaging, and no evidence of grease-resistant or water-resistant coatings typical of high-risk food wrap.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% 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.
