Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or mycotoxin growth on damp packaging on the Pirate's Booty and not on the Pirate's Booty.
- We flag Polymer food-contact lining leaching, Microplastic fragmentation and Moisture barrier failure and mold/bacterial growth on the Pirate's Booty and not on the Pirate's Booty.
- The Pirate's Booty is paper/cardboard packaging, puffed corn snack where the Pirate's Booty is paperboard bag with standard food-contact lining, 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.
