Norpro Square Wax Paper
Unknown treatment. Wax paper traditionally lower risk, but grease-resistance source unclear.
Norpro wax paper uses wax coating for grease resistance, not explicitly PFAS-treated. Traditional wax papers generally lower concern, but brand provides no PFAS disclosure or testing.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
