Parchment Paper by Kroger · Grease-Resistant Parchment Paper
Lodge Dutch Oven Liners
Parchment paper liners lower PFAS risk than nonstick. No disclosure provided.
Kroger parchment paper is silicon-coated, a lower-PFAS alternative to Teflon-based nonstick liners. Brand provides no explicit PFAS disclosure, but silicone coatings carry less known PFAS risk than Teflon-family coating.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This product is parchment paper with a silicone coating designed to prevent food sticking and release from Dutch ovens. Silicone coatings are not Teflon-type coating (Teflon) and do not release the same fume hazards at high heat. Parchment paper itself is cellulose (wood fiber) that is typically bleached and sized; the silicone layer bonds to this substrate to improve release and heat resistance compared to uncoated parchment.
The brand's record and disclosure
Kroger is a major grocery retailer with a generalist product portfolio; there is no established public record of Kroger making safety certifications or detailed material disclosures for this parchment liner product. Kroger has not published ingredient lists, processing standards, or third-party testing results for this specific item. No known recalls or safety complaints have been documented for Kroger parchment paper liners in standard databases.
How it compares in its category
Parchment paper liners are generally considered a lower-risk choice for oven and cookware use compared to silicone baking mats or Teflon-type coating nonstick coatings. Unlike Teflon-type coating cookware, parchment does not degrade and release fumes at typical cooking temperatures (it chars above 420 F). Silicone-coated parchment sits between plain parchment and full nonstick solutions, offering better release while avoiding fluorinated polymer risks.
If you buy it
Use within the product's rated temperature limit, typically 420 F for most parchment; confirm the package label. Replace liners if they show visible browning, burning, or tearing, as degraded parchment may fragment into food. Do not reuse the same liner repeatedly across multiple cooking sessions if it becomes creased or worn. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat to prevent premature degradation of the silicone coating.
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.”
Silicone coating leaching
Silicone is not established to leach into food under normal cooking conditions. No public test data or recalls document silicone migration from parchment liners into food at typical oven temperatures.
Parchment paper bleaching residues
Parchment is typically chlorine-bleached; Kroger has not disclosed bleaching method or residual chlorine content. The risk of bleach residue transfer to food is low at normal cooking temperatures, but unbleached or oxygen-bleached alternatives may carry lower exposure.
Thermal degradation and fragmentation
Parchment paper chars and can fragment if exposed to direct flame or temperatures above 420 F. Small paper fragments entering food are a physical hazard, not a chemical one, but replacement schedules should be followed to prevent this.
Formaldehyde in sizing or binders
Parchment sizing and adhesives may contain formaldehyde releasers in some manufacturing processes, but Kroger has not published material safety data confirming or denying this. Standard parchment products have not shown elevated formaldehyde off-gassing at food preparation temperatures.
Microplastics from silicone degradation
Repeated heating and mechanical wear of the silicone coating could theoretically shed microparticles over time. No established public testing or recalls document silicone microplastic generation from parchment liners under normal use.
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.
