It's probably impossible to make any clear determination regarding this, because there are far too many variables (climate, fertilization techniques, bleaching techniques, ad infinitum) that could effect this. The key point is to purchase cheesecloth with appropriate thread count (or weight) and is **not** treated with a flame retardant. It's easy to find cheesecloth, but finding the right kind of cheesecloth is a takes more effort. Regards, Peter L.
