Are there pesticides, arsenic, mercury or lead in the beeswax wraps you use on your sandwiches, cheeses and bread? Does the wax mixture seep into your food?
- Unlike plastic wrapping for food, beeswax food wraps don't legally have to be tested for food safety.
- We have had ours independently tested (most recently in 2025), but know of only one other maker in the world that has done this.
- Almost all beeswax wraps on the online marketplaces are mass-produced in factories abroad with no food safety testing at all. There is also nothing on their labels to say that the fabrics used are OEKO-TEX 100 Certified or GOTS-Certified.
- OEKO-TEX 100 and GOTS certifications ensure that the fabric contains no harmful substances like pesticides (or over 1000 other harmful substances). See our fabric certificates.
Our beeswax wraps have been independently tested and certified: the wax mixture does not come off on your food and is free from hazardous metals like arsenic, mercury and lead. See all the test results.
