Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in waterproof coating, Coating degradation and microparticulate shedding and Migration of coating polymers into food on the Karat and not on the IDL Packaging.
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Karat.
- The Karat is bleached paper with waterproof coating, type unspecified where the IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper, 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 Karat 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 →
