Where these two actually differ
- We flag Silicone coating leaching at high heat, Microparticle shedding from coating degradation and Undisclosed additives in silicone formulation on the Harold Import Co. and not on the If You Care.
- We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the Harold Import Co..
- The Harold Import Co. is cellulose paper with silicone coating where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the If You Care is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Harold Import Co. grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
