Verpacken Sie Ihre Lebensmittel nicht in Pestizide! Vorsicht beim Kauf von Bienenwachstüchern

Enthalten die Bienenwachstücher, die Sie für Ihre Sandwiches, Käse und Brot verwenden, Pestizide, Arsen, Quecksilber oder Blei? Dringt die Wachsmischung in Ihr Essen ein?

  • Anders als bei Lebensmittelverpackungen aus Plastik müssen Bienenwachsverpackungen nicht gesetzlich auf ihre Lebensmittelsicherheit geprüft werden.
  • Wir haben unsere Produkte unabhängig testen lassen (zuletzt im Jahr 2025), kennen aber nur einen anderen Hersteller auf der Welt, der dies getan hat.
  • Fast alle Bienenwachstücher auf Amazon, eBay usw. werden in chinesischen Fabriken in Massenproduktion hergestellt, ohne dass Lebensmittelsicherheitstests durchgeführt werden. Auf den Etiketten findet sich auch kein Hinweis darauf, dass die verwendeten Stoffe OEKO-TEX 100- oder GOTS-zertifiziert sind.
  • Die Zertifizierungen OEKO-TEX 100 und GOTS garantieren, dass der Stoff keine schädlichen Substanzen wie Pestizide (oder über 1000 andere Schadstoffe) enthält. Sehen Sie sich unsere Stoffzertifikate an .
  • Unsere Bienenwachstücher wurden unabhängig getestet und zertifiziert (zuletzt 2025). Die Wachsmischung hinterlässt keine Rückstände auf Lebensmitteln und ist frei von gefährlichen Metallen wie Arsen, Quecksilber und Blei. Alle Testergebnisse finden Sie unten.

Buy with confidence

In addition to certification testing, the all-natural raw materials that go into our wraps are approved as safe in food by the US Food and Drug Administration, the UK's Food Standards Agency and the European Food Safety Authority.

The OEKO-TEX Certificates for our fabric mean they have passed stringent tests for dozens of harmful substances (like formaldehyde, lead, arsenic, pesticides, carcinogens, etc.) to ensure that the fabrics are in no way harmful to health.

Some of our fabrics are additionally REACH Certified (EU REACH regulation (EC) No 1907/2006).

More about our Certified Food Safe Test Results

It's taking the world's regulators a little time to catch up with our move towards sustainable, reusable alternatives to plastic, and we’re not waiting until they do…

We've made sure that we know (and you know!) that our food wraps are completely safe to use on food

In addition to only using raw ingredients that the US, UK and European food safety agencies have approved as safe in food, AND using fabrics that are OEKO-TEX Certified as having been extensively tested for any harmful substances, we have had our finished products rigorously tested by an independent product testing facility in the UK.

We have passed both the migration and metal/element release tests

This means that the ingredients that make up our wraps (which are: all-natural beeswax, damar resin, extra-virgin olive oil and 100% cotton fabric) will not be passed on to your food, as per Standard EN1186. The scientists call this "migration" and our wraps scored very well on this: less than 3.5mg/dm². To put that into context, plastic food packaging is allowed to migrate up to 10mg/dm² of whatever it’s made from to your food.

Our wraps passed the tests for 23 metals and other elements like arsenic, lead and mercury (yuck!)

Our wraps fully comply with EU Regulations 10/2011EU as amended by (EU) 2020/1245. That's the regulation on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

In fact, there is absolutely no trace of arsenic, lead or mercury in our wraps (the regulation allows for tiny amounts in plastic food packaging!)

Our wraps have passed an official sensory evaluation for smell and taste with flying colours!

They transfer no perceptible smell or taste to your food according to the official sniffers and tasters at the independent testing facility.
