Baking paper test reports: what to ask for by market
Importers are usually asked to show that a paper is safe for food contact. The document depends on where the goods are sold.
For the US, importers usually ask for an FDA 21 CFR 176.170 test report. For the EU, they ask for PFAS results and, for the wood fibre, an EUDR traceability file. For China, the standard is GB 4806.8. An FSC chain-of-custody certificate covers responsible sourcing in every market.
