Lower concern, but wax source and grease treatment unclear.
Natural wax paper is inherently grease-resistant and lower PFAS risk than plastic-coated alternatives. Brand provides no disclosure on coating origin or treatment, limiting certainty.

No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This product is paper coated with a wax layer (typically paraffin or blend of paraffin and soy/vegetable wax) to create a grease barrier. The wax coating is food-safe at room temperature and does not leach into food under normal use. Unlike plastic films, natural wax paper does not release synthetic monomers or plasticizers, making it chemically inert for storage and wrapping applications.
The brand's record and disclosure
Paper Mart is a supplier of food-service packaging with no published safety certifications or third-party testing results available in public records. The brand makes no explicit claims about PFAS-free or chemical-free status; product labeling does not specify wax type or coating additives. No recalls or safety complaints specific to this product line are documented.
How it compares in its category
Natural wax paper is considered a safer alternative to bleached parchment paper (which may contain chlorine residues) and plastic-lined deli wrap (which carries microplastic and BPA/BPS risks). It avoids the fluorochemical treatment found in premium non-stick parchment; the trade-off is lower heat tolerance and grease barrier life span compared to treated alternatives.
If you buy it
Use for room-temperature or refrigerated storage only; do not place directly in oven or microwave as wax will soften above 140-160°F depending on blend composition. Replace sheets if grease saturation is visible or coating appears cracked. Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct heat to prevent wax degradation and preserve barrier integrity.
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.”
wax composition and thermal stability
Product label does not specify wax type or melting point; paraffin-based coatings degrade above 160°F, risking wax migration into warm foods. No testing data provided by brand.
paper bleaching residues
No public records of chlorine or other bleach residues in this brand's paper substrate; natural wax paper typically uses pulp bleached with safer hydrogen peroxide rather than chlorine.
coating additives and stabilizers
Wax formulations may include mineral oils, anti-caking agents, or colorants; the manufacturer does not disclose additive list, preventing full chemical profile assessment.
microplastic shedding
Natural wax paper does not fragment into synthetic microplastics; wax coating is stable under food contact conditions without heating.
ink or dye transfer from printing
Pre-cut sheets carry minimal visible printing; no evidence of food-contact printing inks in this product format, but brand does not provide ink safety certifications.
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.
