U.S. Lab Report: Which Baking Paper Brands Are Truly PFAS-Free? [2025 Review]

As PFAS safety regulations tighten in the U.S. and Europe, buyers are re-evaluating the chemical safety of baking paper. In a recent independent lab investigation commissioned by Mamavation, eight baking paper brands were tested for PFAS indicators using fluorine analysis — with mixed results.

For food brands, kitchenware suppliers, and private-label importers, this data is more than a headline — it’s a procurement priority. Here’s what the lab found, and how to choose a PFAS-free baking paper supplier in 2025.

🧪 PFAS Detection: Lab-Tested Brand Rankings

According to Mamavation’s EPA-certified lab test, the following baking papers were evaluated for total fluorine — a reliable marker for PFAS presence:

Brand Name	PFAS Detected?	Approx. Fluorine Level	Coating Type
If You Care	❌ Not Detected	<10 ppm	Silicone
GIFBERA (Amazon)	❌ Not Detected	<10 ppm	Silicone
Kabite (Amazon)	❌ Not Detected	<10 ppm	Silicone
Reynolds	⚠️ Detected	~14 ppm	Mixed (not declared)
Costco Kirkland	⚠️ Detected	~12 ppm	Unknown
Other Fast Food Brands	✅ Detected (HIGH)	>100 ppm	Fluoro-based

✅ Non-detect (<10 ppm) means no intentionally added PFAS, aligning with new FDA food-contact standards.

🔍 Why These Results Matter to B2B Buyers

In February 2024, the U.S. FDA officially revoked authorization for PFAS-based coatings in food packaging. That means by early 2025, U.S. importers and manufacturers cannot legally sell PFAS-coated baking paper.

For food exporters, cookware brands, and packaging suppliers, sourcing PFAS-free paper is not optional — it’s essential for:

🌎 Global compliance
📦 Cross-border customs clearance
🛡️ Brand liability and consumer trust

✅ Buyer’s Checklist: How to Avoid PFAS-Coated Baking Paper

✔️ Step	🔍 Why It Matters
Ask for a PFAS/fluorine test report	Confirms “non-detect” results via certified lab
Choose silicone-coated options	Safer than wax or unknown “greaseproof” coatings
