Great Value Non-Stick Parchment Paper Roll
Skip until brand discloses coating chemistry or provides third-party test.
Parchment paper's non-stick coating is typically silicone or wax, but Great Value/Market Pantry does not publicly disclose the specific treatment. Without brand transparency or certification, PFAS risk cannot be ruled out.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
food packaging is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Great Value parchment paper is bleached paper with a non-stick coating applied to one or both sides. The manufacturer does not publicly disclose the specific chemistry of this coating (silicone, wax, fluorocarbon, or hybrid). Parchment's food-safety depends entirely on the coating formulation and heat stability; unlabeled coatings create uncertainty about leaching potential and breakdown temperatures.
The brand's record and disclosure
Market Pantry (Walmart's mid-tier house brand) has not published ingredient declarations or third-party food-contact testing for this parchment product. Walmart's private-label cookware and food-storage items have faced no major recalls linked to migration hazards, but the brand routinely omits detailed chemical composition. No public commitment to PFAS-free coatings has been announced for this category.
How it compares in its category
Standard parchment paper (treated with silicone or wax) is considered safer than plastic food wraps for heat exposure. Unbleached and silicone-coated versions are widely available at similar prices. Premium brands (Kirkland, If You Care) sometimes publish coating details or pursue certification (FSC, chlorine-free). Great Value's lack of transparency places it in the middle of the category for disclosed safety.
If you buy it
Keep use below 420°F (stated safe maximum for most parchment); do not use directly over open flame or broiler. Replace the roll every 6-12 months or when surface becomes visibly darkened, torn, or tacky. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent coating degradation. If cost is the priority, this product meets basic food-contact standards; if you want coating certainty, choose a brand that publishes chemical composition.
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 chemistry (unknown)
Manufacturer does not disclose whether the coating is silicone, wax, or contains fluorinated compounds. Without this detail, potential for migration or fume release under heat cannot be ruled out or confirmed.
Thermal degradation of coating
If used above the product's intended temperature (typically 420°F), the non-stick layer may degrade and shed particles into food. No accelerated aging data is published for this specific product.
Bleaching residues in paper substrate
Chlorine-based bleaching is standard for white parchment. No reports of harmful residue migration from Great Value parchment; food-contact paper is regulated and typically safe, but unbleached alternatives exist.
Microplastic or coating particle shedding
If the non-stick coating is thin or compromised, particles may transfer to food during cooking or storage. No independent testing of this product's coating durability is on record.
Off-gassing during high-heat use
Silicone-based coatings can emit volatile compounds at elevated temperatures. The undisclosed coating formulation makes risk assessment impossible without brand testing data.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
