Culinary Cheesecloth Synthetic-Cotton from Germany

Dyed cheesecloth specifically for culinary straining, woven from <85% synthetic staples mixed mainly with cotton, under 170 g/m², open weave ≤33 threads/cm² per note (d). Its loose structure allows liquid passage while retaining solids, ideal for cheese making and jams. Machine-dyed for food-safe color consistency.

Import Tips

Certify food-contact compliance (FDA standards) alongside HTS weave docs to avoid food safety holds

Document exact thread count; denser weaves risk reclass to voiles without cheesecloth openness

Use non-reactive dyes; customs may test for migration in food-grade imports
