Gingham Greaseproof Paper | Red Food Wrapping Paper | 310x380mm | Olympia CL659

Q: Is this paper safe for direct contact with food?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is certified food-safe, meaning it's been tested and  approved for direct contact with all types of food without any risk of transferring chemicals.

Q: Can I use it in a microwave?

A: While it's primarily designed for ovens, wrapping, and  lining, it is generally safe for short periods in a microwave. However, we always recommend checking your specific microwave's guidelines for using paper products.

Q: Is the paper waxed?

A: No, this is not a waxed paper. Its grease-resistant quality comes from the way the paper is manufactured, not from a wax coating, which makes it suitable for oven use.

Q: Will the red ink run when it gets wet or greasy?

A: No, not at all. The food-safe ink used is stable and  specifically designed not to bleed, smudge, or transfer onto food, even when in contact with grease or moisture.

Q: How thick is the paper?

A: It's a standard professional-grade weight for food wrapping – sturdy enough to hold its shape and  resist tearing, but flexible enough to wrap items easily and  neatly.

Q: Can I recycle this paper?

A: Yes, the paper itself is recyclable. However, you should always check with your local authority, as paper with heavy food or grease soiling is often not accepted in mixed recycling bins.

Q: Is it suitable for wrapping very wet foods, like a saucy burrito?

A: It’s highly grease-resistant, but not fully waterproof. For extremely saucy or wet items, we'd recommend using this as a stylish secondary wrap over a primary layer of foil for total security.

Q: Does the gingham pattern appear on both sides of the paper?

A: The vibrant pattern is printed on one side. You would typically wrap with this side facing outwards for the best presentation, leaving the plain white side against the food.
