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 Kroger.
  • We flag Non-stick coating degradation with heat, Coating leachables into fatty foods, Microparticle shedding from worn coating and PFAS in non-stick coating on the Parchment Paper by Kroger 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 Kroger is paper with non-stick coating, composition unspecified, 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.
