Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Bryco Goods.
- We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Microorganism growth if moisture-exposed, Coating degradation and particle shedding and Leachables from coating under heat or acid on the Bryco Goods and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper where the Bryco Goods is kraft paper, likely with water/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 Bryco Goods 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 →
