Microplastic Status
We could not fully establish everything Epicurean PREP Board Natural is made of, or its materials (Richlite compressed craft paper, phenol-formaldehyde thermoset resin) sit in a class where the published evidence is genuinely mixed. "Lower concern, caveats" is not a signal that the product does shed microplastics — it means we could not get far enough to say that it does not.
How we assess products
We work from published information; we do not lab-test, and a verdict here is never a claim that we have.

About This Product
Based on the published material data, the Epicurean PREP Board is made from Richlite — compressed craft paper bound with a phenol-formaldehyde thermoset resin, a disclosed synthetic polymer that forms part of the food-contact surface. A thermoset resin is not a thermoplastic, and the only published chopping-board shedding study tested polyethylene and polypropylene boards only, so the evidence here is genuinely mixed rather than settled. NSF-certified for food safety.
Materials
- Richlite compressed craft paper
