Ecolabeled is the safe option when it comes to food paper

Thursday, December 13, 2018

Baking cups and sandwich paper can be found in most kitchens around the world. If you choose products labelled with the Nordic Ecolabel, you avoid unnecessary and dangerous chemicals.

Food paper with the Nordic Ecolabel has no added fluorochemicals

Most conventional grease-proof paper intended for use with food is treated with a surface coating containing fluorochemical in order to make it grease- and water-resistant.  This surface treatment protects the paper and food when cooking, but can be harmful to humans and nature.

Burger and sandwich paper with the Nordic Ecolabel has gone through a process that is not dangerous to humans or nature. Either the wood fibers are treated mechanically to become naturally greaseproof, or the surface of the paper has been treated with a natural substance.

 

Baking paper does not contain fluorochemicals

Baking paper has different properties than other papers intended for food, as it is coated with silicone to ensure its non-stick effect. When paper is coated with silicone, it cannot also be coated with fluorochemicals. Therefore, baking paper does not contain fluorochemical coating. However, baking paper with the Nordic Ecolabel is still the natural choice in order to avoid unnecessary added chemicals.

 

You can find a full list of food paper products with the Nordic Ecolabel at Ecolabel.com or read more about Ecolabelled burger paper.

 

More about Fluorochemicals:

  • Fluorochemicals are used to make e.g. shoes, clothes and fast food packaging water and grease proof
  • Fluorochemicals have been found in such different places as e.g. fish, water, soil and household dust
  • Fluorochemicals are suspected of causing hormone interference, cancer and for affecting the immune system
  • Fluorochemicals do not break down easily, staying in nature for years
  • The EU is planning new legislation to limit fluorochemicals, expected in 2020

 

Abena offers a wide range of baking paper, baking cups and sandwich paper with the Nordic Ecolabel.  Contact your local distributor for more information
