Product Description
Food Grade Butter Paper is a specialized type of paper that is designed for use in food-related applications, providing a safe, grease-resistant, and non-toxic packaging solution. It is often used in baking, food packaging, and serving. The paper is treated or coated to make it suitable for direct contact with food while maintaining its greaseproof, moisture-resistant, and non-stick properties.
Key Features of Food Grade Butter Paper:
-
Grease and Moisture Resistant:
- Food grade butter paper is typically treated with a coating such as wax, silicone, or other non-toxic substances to make it resistant to grease and moisture. This prevents oils, fats, or other liquids from soaking through the paper, keeping the food fresh and clean.
-
Safe for Food Contact:
- Food-grade means that the paper is made with materials and coatings that meet safety standards, ensuring it does not leach harmful chemicals into food. This is especially important for food packaging materials used in the food industry.
-
Non-Toxic:
- The paper is non-toxic, meaning it is free from harmful substances such as heavy metals, phthalates, and chlorine, which could contaminate food. It complies with food safety regulations, such as those set by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
-
Non-Stick:
- Food grade butter paper is non-stick, which makes it ideal for baking applications. It helps prevent baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries from sticking to pans, making it easy to remove them after baking.
-
Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly:
- Many food grade butter papers are made from kraft paper, which is biodegradable and recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice for packaging. This is especially important as businesses move toward more sustainable packaging options.
-
Smooth, Clean Appearance:
- Food grade butter paper often has a smooth finish, giving it a clean and professional appearance. It is available in both white and brown (kraft) options, depending on the aesthetic preference or environmental goals of the user.
-
Heat Resistant:
- Depending on the coating, food grade butter paper is generally heat resistant and can be safely used in oven baking or for wrapping hot foods. It helps in maintaining the temperature and preventing direct contact with high heat that could damage the food.
