The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved food-grade ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) for use in direct contact with food, confirming its safety under specific conditions. However, not all EVA is created equal, and consumers must understand the critical differences to ensure they are using the correct material for food packaging and storage.

Genuine cellophane is made from regenerated cellulose, a renewable resource sourced from plants like wood pulp, cotton, or hemp. However, this does not mean all cellophane is food grade; its safety for food contact depends on its manufacturing process and any coatings applied.
