Where these two actually differ
- We flag Unknown grease-resistant coating leachates, Coating degradation and particulate release, Microbial or mold growth and Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from aged coating on the Burger King and not on the Burger King.
- We flag Grease-resistant coating migration (non-PFAS components), Unknown additive content in vintage coating, Paper substrate degradation over decades and Formaldehyde-based adhesive or sizing on the Burger King and not on the Burger King.
- The Burger King is paper with grease-resistant coating (composition unknown) where the Burger King is Paper with grease-resistant coating (unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
