Where these two actually differ
- 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.
- We flag Coating migration at high temperature, Thermal degradation and smoke generation and Allergen cross-contamination from reuse on the Parchment Paper by Glad and not on the Parchment Paper by Glad.
- The Parchment Paper by Glad is bleached paper with silicone and grease-resistant coating where the Parchment Paper by Glad is cellulose paper with non-stick, 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 →
