Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in silicone coating (fluorochemical repellents) and Silicone coating degradation at high heat on the Whole Foods 365 and not on the If You Care.
- We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the Whole Foods 365.
- The Whole Foods 365 is unbleached paper with silicone coating where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the If You Care is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Whole Foods 365 grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, 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 →
