Likely lower concern, but manufacturer provides no PFAS disclosure.
Parchment paper typically uses silicone coatings, not fluorinated chemicals. However, Kroger brand makes no public PFAS statement, limiting certainty about their specific formulation or manufacturing practices.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This product is cellulose paper (wood fiber) coated with food-grade silicone on one or both sides. The silicone coating prevents sticking and grease penetration while allowing the paper to withstand oven temperatures up to roughly 420-450°F depending on formulation. Cellulose itself is inert; silicone is a synthetic rubber that does not leach into food under normal baking conditions. The roll format means minimal pre-use handling risk compared to loose sheets.
The brand's record and disclosure
Kroger parchment paper carries no documented safety recalls or contamination incidents in FDA or CPSC databases. The brand does not publicly disclose silicone supplier details, coating formulation specifics, or PFAS testing results; this is typical for grocery-store private-label cookware products. Kroger has not signed onto major transparency initiatives like Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, but absence of disclosure does not indicate a known problem.
How it compares in its category
Parchment paper is one of the lowest-risk food-contact disposables on the market. Unlike plastic wrap (BPA/phthalate risk) or aluminum foil (potential aluminum leaching in acidic foods), silicone-coated cellulose is chemically stable and non-reactive. Unbleached parchment rolls from premium brands (If You Care, Bake King) offer marginally lower contamination risk during manufacturing but cost more; this Kroger version is functionally equivalent for home baking.
If you buy it
Use within the oven-safe temperature range (typically under 420°F; check package). Do not reuse sheets multiple times as silicone coating can wear, reducing non-stick performance and potentially exposing cellulose fibers. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent moisture absorption and mold. Discard any sheets with visible tears, staining, or odor before use; these suggest coating degradation or storage issues.
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 degradation over time
Repeated heating or mechanical stress can wear the silicone layer. Once compromised, the cellulose becomes exposed and may shed fibers into food; this is cosmetic rather than toxic but signals end of product life.
Bleach residues in cellulose
Food-grade parchment is typically oxygen-bleached (safer) rather than chlorine-bleached, and this product shows no public record of bleach contamination. Kroger does not disclose bleaching method, but industry standard for food contact is oxygen bleaching.
Silicone migration to food
FDA-approved food-grade silicone does not migrate into food at normal baking temperatures. No recalls or scientific studies document silicone leaching from parchment paper under home-use conditions.
Mold or bacterial growth
If stored in humid conditions or a damp kitchen, the paper roll can absorb moisture and develop mold before use. Storage in sealed original packaging in a dry cupboard prevents this; it is a handling issue, not a manufacturing defect.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 65% 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.
