Journal Chacham's Journal: Verbiage: White bag is sterile, brown is dirty. 11
Got pastry at the bakery. Instead of the traditional white bag, a brown bag was used. For some reason, i associate white with sterile, and brown with dirty.Which means that the pastry is now less than par.

Also, from a butcher brown is usually the color of the paper the meat
is wrapped in. That is probably just since brown is cheaper, since it
doesn't use bleach. Also, I would think brown does not show blood
stains as obviously as white paper.

Perhaps brown for unprepared and white for prepared?

Judging by statements on the Environment Q&A page [m-real.com] at the website of m-real [m-real.com] (a European company which 'delivers innovative paper and packaging solutions), recycled paper seems deemed unsuitable for food packaging (in Europe at least).

According to the Asterix [ifi.uio.no] books (which contain much valuable historical infomation but much that is humourously apocryphal), wrapping fish & chips in newpaper is a hangover from when the soothsayers would open up an animal to read the future from its' entrails.
Hence we still get reading matter when we purchase food today.
And its' definately not sterile because its recycled paper that has been handled by the public.
