Where these two actually differ

  • 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.
  • We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Bleached paper residues (chlorine compounds) and Coating degradation and microparticle transfer on the Burger King and not on the Burger King.
  • The Burger King is Paper with grease-resistant coating (unspecified) where the Burger King is bleached paper with grease-resistant coating (likely PFAS-based), 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.
