Why this grade

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Member's Mark.
  • We flag Silicone coating stability at heat on the Member's Mark and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • The IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated where the Member's Mark is Unbleached paper with silicone or wax coating, 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 Member's Mark 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 →
