Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Bryco Goods.
  • We flag Coating leachates (unspecified composition), Mold or bacterial growth (storage-dependent) and Migration of coating components into fatty foods 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 with standard wet-strength or 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: 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 →
