Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Reynolds.
- We flag Grease-resistant coating composition (unclear source), Microplastic shedding from coating and Heat stability of coating at cooking temperatures on the Reynolds and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper where the Reynolds is kraft paper with standard grease-resistant treatment, 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.
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 →
