- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the .
- We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Unidentified coating migration into food, Microparticle shedding from coating degradation and Thermal degradation fumes if heated on the and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper where the is Paper with water/grease-resistant coating, composition unspecified, 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 grade, at 45% 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 →
