Do you really know which foods you can put on a paper plate? There is still a lot of confusion in the food service industry, but regulatory compliance and customer safety are not just minor details—they are a responsibility.
The Problem with the Traditional Paglia paper
Straw paper is recycled paper. For this reason, it is not suitable for direct contact with hot, fatty, oily, or fried foods—categories that require specific migration testing.
It may only be used for “low-risk” foods such as bread, which do not require such certifications.
For all other foods, regulations require the use of pure cellulose paper.
The Decor Solution: Certified Food-Grade Straw Paper
To meet these needs, Decor has developed a certified food-grade straw paper suitable for all foods: it offers the same absorbency as traditional straw paper but meets the necessary compliance standards for any type of food service application.
We have 13 standard sizes in stock and can produce custom sizes upon request.
An important point to remember: Even certified food-grade paper, if printed with unsuitable inks or left unprotected, must not come into direct contact with food on the printed side.
Before choosing your supplier, check:
→ to ensure the paper is suitable for all foods, not just those exempt from migration testing
→ to ensure the supplier’s traceability information is present on the sales unit
Compliance is not a minor detail. It’s a responsibility.
