Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fluorinated coating (PFAS-adjacent risk), Coating degradation under heat or prolonged storage and Migration of coating polymers into fatty foods on the Stock Your Home and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Stock Your Home.
  • The Stock Your Home is Bleached kraft paper with grease-resistant coating 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 Stock Your Home 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 →
