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 (non-legacy fluorochemicals), Coating degradation and leaching during heat or moisture exposure, Undisclosed chemical additives in coating formulation and Bioaccumulation risk from repeated exposure 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 paper with grease-resistant coating, composition 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.
