FOODSERVICE Flat Food Tray vs Compostable Fiber Compost-A-Pak Containers: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Fluorochemical coating leachability (non-PFAS specifics), Microbiological contamination from fiber substrate, Formaldehyde in fiber binders and Coating degradation and food contact safety decline on the Huhtamaki and not on the World Centric.
• We flag Proprietary coating chemical migration, Moisture and microbial growth in fiber matrix, Coating degradation under heat or fatty foods and Recycling contamination if misdisposed on the World Centric and not on the Huhtamaki.
• The Huhtamaki is Molded fiber/pulp with unknown moisture/grease barrier coating where the World Centric is Fiber-based (wood pulp/molded fiber), compostable coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the World Centric is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Huhtamaki grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
