Food Grade Butter Paper: Safety Standards & Compliance

Food safety is something that you cannot compromise on, especially when it comes to handling, wrapping, baking, or packaging food items. The demand for food-grade packaging materials is greater now than ever before. One of those commodities that plays an essential role in food packaging is Food Grade Butter Paper.

What is Food-Grade Butter Paper?

Food-grade butter paper is specially designed to safely come in direct contact with food without causing contamination. It is primarily used for wrapping and protecting food items, maintaining hygiene, and preventing grease transfer. Food-grade butter paper is coated with food-grade, non-toxic materials and is manufactured under quality control and hygienic conditions so that it will not transfer harmful substances, chemicals, or ink to the food.

Why Safety Standards Matter?

The use of unsafe or poor-quality paper may transfer chemicals to food, affect taste, smell, and texture, spoil food, lead to health risks and infections, and damage brand trust and reputation. This is why compliance and certification become highly important.

International and National Safety Standards for Food-Grade Butter Paper

1. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Compliance

The FDA ensures that packaging materials used in food are safe for direct contact and free from harmful migration chemicals. Ekvee's butter paper retains quality and safety standards whether it is being used for cooking or wrapping hot food.

2. European Union Regulations

Standards such as EC No. 1935/2004 and EC No. 2023/2006 set the guidelines for the manufacturing or testing of food contact materials, ensuring chemical transfer safety at various temperatures.

3. FSSAI and BIS Compliance in India

In India, food packaging should conform to FSSAI and BIS Standards to make sure that the butter paper is appropriate for use in Indian kitchens as well as in food-related businesses.
