Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Coating leachates (non-PFAS fluorinated or synthetic polymers) and Thermal degradation of coating under heat 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 coated paper/cardboard with unknown water/grease-resistant treatment 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.

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 →
