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 Bleach residue (if chlorine-bleached), Coating adhesion loss at high heat and PFAS in silicone coating 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 silicone coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are 5 points apart, 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 →
