Unbleached Parchment Paper by Mercantile · Baking Parchment & Silicone Mats
Unbleached Compostable Greaseproof Baking Parchment Paper Roll
Lower-concern choice; unbleached parchment avoids legacy PFAS treatments, but greaseproof coating source undisclosed.
Unbleached parchment paper typically uses silicone or food-grade wax rather than fluorochemical coatings, making it lower concern than conventional bleached parchment. However, the brand provides no explicit disclosure about whether the greaseproof treatment contains PFAS alternatives or legacy compounds.

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.
