Parchment Paper by Glad · Grease-Resistant Parchment Paper
Parchment Paper Non Stick 15 in x 164 ft 2-Count
Skip until Glad discloses non-stick coating composition.
Parchment paper's non-stick coating is unidentified by Glad. Traditional parchment uses silicone, but some brands treat with fluorochemicals for grease resistance. No testing data available.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Parchment paper is cellulose (plant fiber) treated with a non-stick coating to prevent food adhesion. Glad does not publicly specify the coating chemistry on packaging or their website. The coating is critical because it determines whether PFAS, silicone, or other chemicals migrate into food when heated. Without disclosed composition, you cannot assess migration risk or suitability for high-temperature cooking.
The brand's record and disclosure
Glad (SC Johnson subsidiary) has not made public commitments to PFAS-free parchment or disclosed their non-stick coating formula. No independent lab recalls or warnings specific to Glad parchment paper are on record. The brand's silence on coating composition is the primary concern; competitors like If You Care and some store brands voluntarily disclose silicone or Teflon-type coating-free status, setting a transparency baseline Glad has not matched.
How it compares in its category
Most parchment paper sold in North America uses either silicone or perfluorinated compounds (PFCs/PFAS) as non-stick agents. Brands marketing as PFAS-free or silicone-coated exist but command higher prices. Glad's product occupies the mid-market tier and does not distinguish itself by coating safety. Consumer Reports and FDA testing have not flagged typical parchment paper as a major health vector at normal baking temperatures, but risk increases above 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit depending on coating type.
If you buy it
Use this product for baking and moderate oven cooking below 350 degrees Fahrenheit until Glad clarifies their coating. Do not use for broiling, direct-flame contact, or sustained high heat. Replace rolls if coating appears visibly worn, peeling, or discolored. Consider requesting Glad's non-stick coating specification via their consumer hotline (1-800-554-4252); market demand for transparency can drive industry change.
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.”
Non-stick coating composition (unspecified)
Glad does not disclose whether the coating contains PFAS, silicone, or other agents. This prevents independent risk assessment and may indicate PFAS presence, since transparent PFAS-free brands routinely advertise that status.
Coating migration at high heat
If the coating contains fluorinated compounds, heating above 400 degrees Fahrenheit can accelerate chemical migration into food. Silicone coatings are more stable but carry different regulatory uncertainty in food contact.
Coating degradation over time
Parchment paper coatings naturally wear with folding, storage, and repeated use. Visible flaking or discoloration indicates the barrier is compromised and the paper should be discarded to avoid coating particles in food.
Bleaching residues in paper substrate
Food-grade parchment is typically chlorine-free bleached or unbleached per FDA standards. No specific concerns about Glad's paper substrate are on record, but the substrate itself is not the primary safety variable here.
Microplastics from coating shedding
If the non-stick layer is synthetic polymer-based (silicone or Teflon-family coating), mechanical wear can release microparticles into food, especially if the paper is creased, folded, or used above recommended temperatures.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 40% 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.
