Where these two actually differ
- We flag Sodium content and processed-meat health risk, Plastic-paper composite leaching (non-PFAS), Naturally occurring nitrates from celery juice and Allergen cross-contamination in shared facility 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 deli meat in plastic/paper composite packaging 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 25 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, 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 →
