Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in grease-barrier coating, Coating migration into fatty foods, Ink and dye leachates (if printed) and Microplastic shedding from degraded coating on the Crown Poly and not on the Sam's Club.
- We flag Aluminum leaching from acidic foods on the Sam's Club and not on the Crown Poly.
- The Crown Poly is polyethylene coated paper with grease barrier where the Sam's Club is Aluminum foil, 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 Sam's Club is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Crown Poly grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
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 →
