Pre-Sliced Deli Beef Pastrami

C · Moderate

Lower concern for typical deli packaging; PFAS risk is in the film, not the meat itself.

Pre-sliced deli pastrami is a packaged meat product, so PFAS concern centers on the plastic film or vacuum-seal wrapper, not the food. Standard deli packaging typically uses polyethylene or polypropylene without intentional PFAS, though some grease-resistant coatings may contain legacy PFAS.

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.
