Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Oil rancidity and off-gassing and Allergen risk from plant oils on the Crisbee and not on the Clark's.
  • We flag Oxidative degradation and rancidity, Smoke point exceedance and thermal degradation and Allergenic or inflammatory seed oils on the Clark's and not on the Crisbee.
  • The Crisbee is Organic waxes and oils blend where the Clark's is Vegetable oil seasoning, no coating applied, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
