Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Silicone or wax coating migration at high heat, Mold or bacterial growth if stored damp, Coating adhesion loss over time or with age and Incompletely disclosed additives in coating on the Parchment Paper by Glad and not on the Parchment Paper by Glad.
  • We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Silicone migration, Thermal degradation of coating and Microplastics from shedding on the Parchment Paper by Glad and not on the Parchment Paper by Glad.
  • The Parchment Paper by Glad is paper with silicone or wax 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 →
