The following Passover alert is from the Chicago Rabbinical Council posted on March 13, 2012.

There are basically two types of parchment paper, Quilon and Silicone. All Quilon type paper requires a reliable hashgacha during the year while the silicone type does not. Both require special Pesach certification. All parchment paper under the certification of the Star K is permissible for Pesach even without Passover certification. This is not to be confused with wax paper or freezer paper which do not require any certification during the year or for Pesach.
