PFAS score
Niman Ranch · Deli Meat & Cold Cuts Packaging
Sliced Beef Pastrami
Lower PFAS concern for the product itself; standard meat packaging carries minimal inherent risk.
Sliced pastrami is a protein product with no inherent PFAS risk from the meat. The primary concern is the plastic film wrapping, which for standard vacuum-sealed deli packaging typically does not require PFAS-based water or grease resistance.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
