The distinction matters legally, not just technically. Food contact materials in the U.S. fall under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-21\/chapter-I\/subchapter-B\/part-176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#0284c7; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:600;\">FDA 21 CFR 176.170<\/a> (paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty foods), while the EU framework under Regulation (EC) No 1935\/2004 requires materials not to transfer constituents to food in quantities that endanger health or change composition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:16px 0; line-height:1.8; color:#334155; font-size:1.02rem;\">Kraft&#8217;s inherent safety derives from the kraft (sulfate) pulping process itself: wood chips are cooked in sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, producing cellulose with minimal residual extractives. Food-grade kraft uses virgin softwood fiber\u2014typically pine\u2014yielding tensile strengths of 4\u20137 kN\/m at 60\u201390 GSM and Mullen burst ratings above 350 kPa. This is why butchers, bakeries, and QSR supply chains default to kraft for wrapping, liners, and sandwich bags.<\/p>\n<h2 style='color:#0f172a; margin-top:36px; margin-bottom:16px; font-size:1.5rem; border-bottom:1px solid #e2e8f0; padding-bottom:8px;'>Virgin vs. Recycled: The Critical Compliance Line<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:16px 0; line-height:1.8; color:#334155; font-size:1.02rem;\">This is where most procurement teams get it wrong.
