Our Food-Grade Shredded Paper Is Indispensable For Culinary

Posted by Liz Seyi on April 22nd, 2021

Does your business sell packaged food? If so, you’ll already be well aware of the importance of being selective about the packaging you use for such items. Unfortunately, you can’t settle for a food packaging option simply on the basis of its design or material, as the packaging also needs to qualify as “food-grade”.   

A material can be considered to be food-grade if it doesn’t contain any harmful substances that could negatively affect the food were the material used to package it. 

Sure enough, your business can rest assured that the food-grade shredded paper we supply here at Shredded-Paper.co.uk meets this safety standard. 

What criteria must a material satisfy to be considered food-grade? 

We offer food-grade natural shredded kraft paper for which we hold a ‘declaration of compliance for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food’ from the manufacturer of the paper, verifying that you can use it to safely package food before presenting it to customers.

To earn this declaration, our food-grade shredded paper had to jump various hurdles. For example, it was crucial that it didn’t include ingredients harmful to health, change the taste of food, or transfer certain elements to the food and consequently threaten its quality. 

Hence, the use of this paper can help guard against the food becoming adversely affected by environmental influences like humidity or damage from delivery. The paper can also play a part in shielding the food from bacteria or fungi. 

How we can help you to help your customers’ health  

In essence, you can let food-grade shredded paper sourced from our online store come into direct contact with food. One example would be if you are preparing hampers and would like a material suitable for use in creating a “nest” on which food items can be settled into the hamper. 

Nonetheless, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the manufacturer of our food-shredded shredded paper recommends that it is heated in an oven for sterilisation before you start using it. 

If the food will already be wrapped, any of our shredded papers could be used as an extra layer of packaging for it – as all of these papers are acid-free. 

If you have any questions yet to be answered about our shredded paper range, please phone our team on 01603 927300. And never forget that if you would like to experience our paper directly before you commit to a purchase, free samples are always available from us
