Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Unidentified food contact coating leachables, Sodium content (product formulation, not packaging) and Processed meat classification (product formulation, not packaging) on the Applegate and not on the IDL Packaging.
- We flag Bleach residue and chlorine compounds and Mold or microbial contamination in storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Applegate.
- The Applegate is Plastic film package with grease-resistant coating (likely food contact surface) where the IDL Packaging is natural kraft butcher paper, no coating specified, 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.
- We are less certain about the Applegate grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
