Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS in water/grease repellent coating and Coating migration under heat on the Grill Mark and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Grill Mark.
  • The Grill Mark is wood fiber with food-grade coating where the IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
