- We flag PFAS in non-stick coating, Coating degradation and microparticle release, Migration of coating compounds at elevated temperature and Lack of third-party testing or certification on the and not on the Seventh Generation.
- The Seventh Generation is bleached paper with silicone coating where the is bleached paper with non-stick silicone or unknown coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 50 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Seventh Generation is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
