Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bleach residue and chlorine compounds and Mold or microbial contamination in storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Mr. Bar-B-Q.
- We flag Coating migration at elevated temperature and Mold or bacterial growth if dampened and stored improperly on the Mr. Bar-B-Q and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is natural kraft butcher paper, no coating specified where the Mr. Bar-B-Q is Kraft paper with likely silicone or water-resistant coating, 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.
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 →
