White Butcher Paper 18" x 12000" Natural Butcher Paper Roll for Meat and Fish vs Foil Sheets 9" x 10.75" 500 ct.: which is safer?
Idl Packaging White Butcher Paper 18" x 12000" Natural Butcher Paper Roll for Meat and Fish is the clear pick. Member's Mark Foil Sheets 9" x 10.75" 500 ct. carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Member's Mark.
- We flag Aluminum leaching (acidic food contact), Grease-resistant coating composition (undisclosed) and Coating degradation and flaking on the Member's Mark and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper where the Member's Mark is aluminum foil with grease-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Member's Mark grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
