Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS (fluorinated grease-resistant coating), Coating degradation and leaching under heat and Microplastics from coating shedding on the and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the .
  • The is paper with grease-resistant coating, composition unspecified where the IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated, 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.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
