Where these two actually differ
- We flag Acrylamide formation during cooking on the Cascadian Farm and not on the McCain.
- We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Acrylamide from frying, Bag integrity and freezer burn and Pesticide residues in potatoes on the McCain and not on the Cascadian Farm.
- The Cascadian Farm is paper/cardboard box and plastic film inner bag where the McCain is paperboard bag with grease-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Cascadian Farm is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the McCain grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
