Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating (fluorinated compounds), Microplastics or coating degradation into food, Migration of coating additives at elevated temperatures and Bacterial growth if paper becomes damp during storage on the and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the .
  • The is paper with grease-resistant coating where the IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
