N'enveloppez pas vos aliments dans des pesticides ! Soyez prudent lorsque vous achetez des emballages en cire d'abeille.

Les emballages en cire d'abeille que vous utilisez pour vos sandwichs, fromages et pains contiennent-ils des pesticides, de l'arsenic, du mercure ou du plomb ? Le mélange de cire s'infiltre-t-il dans vos aliments ?

  • Contrairement aux emballages alimentaires en plastique, les emballages alimentaires en cire d'abeille ne sont pas légalement soumis à des tests de sécurité alimentaire.
  • Nous avons fait tester les nôtres de manière indépendante (le plus récemment en 2025), mais nous ne connaissons qu'un seul autre fabricant au monde qui l'a fait.
  • Presque tous les emballages en cire d'abeille vendus sur Amazon, eBay, etc. sont fabriqués en série dans des usines chinoises, sans aucun contrôle de sécurité alimentaire. De plus, rien sur leurs étiquettes n'indique que les tissus utilisés sont certifiés OEKO-TEX 100 ou GOTS.
  • Les certifications OEKO-TEX 100 et GOTS garantissent que le tissu ne contient aucune substance nocive comme des pesticides (ni plus de 1 000 autres substances nocives). Consultez nos certificats de tissus .
  • Nos emballages en cire d'abeille ont été testés et certifiés par des organismes indépendants (le dernier en 2025). Le mélange de cire ne se dépose pas sur vos aliments et est exempt de métaux dangereux comme l'arsenic, le mercure et le plomb. Consultez tous les résultats des tests ci-dessous.

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.
