Caution with Unbranded Air Fryer Paper: Risks of "Three-No" Products

Caution with Unbranded Air Fryer Paper: Risks of "Three-No" Products
As air fryers gain popularity, the use of silicone oil paper (air fryer paper) has surged. However, market regulators across regions warn that some "three-no" (no manufacturer, no quality certification, no safety standard) products pose safety hazards, including excessive solvent residue and harmful chemical release at high temperatures, which may threaten health with long-term use.

Risks of Unbranded Air Fryer Paper
Air fryer paper typically has a three-layer structure. Inadequate production processes (e.g., insufficient drying of solvents) can cause the release of harmful substances like xylene and toluene under high heat. At temperatures exceeding 230°C or during prolonged use, the migration of these substances may exceed safety limits, potentially leading to silicone layer melting or fire risks. Unbranded products, lacking standardized production, face significantly higher risks.

Safety Tips for Selection and Use

1.Check for Compliance Labels: Choose products with an SC production license number and compliance with GB4806.8-2022 (China's food contact material standard) to ensure safety for food contact.
2.Control Usage Conditions: Avoid temperatures over 230°C or single-use exceeding 20 minutes. For high-temperature cooking (e.g., roasting sweet potatoes), opt for heat-resistant aluminum foil instead.
3.No Reuse: Silicone oil paper is single-use; repeated heating accelerates harmful substance leaching.
