Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Coating degradation and particle shedding, Microplastics from coating breakdown and Thermal leaching of coating components on the Parchment Paper by Glad and not on the Parchment Paper by Glad.
  • We flag Silicone migration, Thermal degradation of coating and Microplastics from shedding on the Parchment Paper by Glad and not on the Parchment Paper by Glad.
  • Both carry a flag for PFAS in grease-resistant coating, so neither choice avoids it.
  • The Parchment Paper by Glad is silicone-coated paper or heat-resistant coating where the Parchment Paper by Glad is bleached paper with silicone and grease-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

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 →
