Where these two actually differ
- We flag Silicone degradation and leaching, Color dyes or pigments in silicone and Bacterial growth in grip seams or joints on the GreenPan and not on the Whole Foods 365.
- The GreenPan is silicone, stainless steel handle where the Whole Foods 365 is unbleached paper with silicone coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the GreenPan is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Whole Foods 365 grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, 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 →
