Where these two actually differ
- We flag BPA and BPS in plastic films and laminates, Phthalates in flexible plastic pouches and film wraps, Migration from cardboard and paperboard coatings and Formaldehyde resins in paperboard adhesives and finishes 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 varies by product line; typically paperboard, cardboard, or plastic film where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 30 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 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
