Looks like a glorified WP:DICTDEF. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink and Science. UtherSRG (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

• comment This is not about the chemicals per se. The topic is instead their transfer into food during cooking or storage. Mangoe (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• :The term FCC is one used in published documents as cited. So I’m not sure I agree this article warrants deletion. Can you provide more justification for deletion? Bryan MacKinnon (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• ::This article is defining the term and lists which things fall in the definition, and categorize them in various ways. This is not an encyclopedia article. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:29, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• :::Thanks for the response. I’m curious if the view is the article is not encyclopedic or that it’s not notable. If the former, the author could update it to be so. I do think it’s notable. Bryan MacKinnon (talk) 10:03, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
• ::::A Dictdef, by definition, is not enclyclopedic. This should not have been accepted at AFC as it is not an encyclopedia article. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
• Merge the first two paragraphs with Food contact materials whose scope already covers this topic and includes some of the impacts of chemical migration from packaging to food (legislation/regulations). The third paragraph might be salvagable, but a list of chemicals that can be found in food because of their packaging probably lacks too much context. ⇌ Synpath 14:54, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect: Not substantial enough to warrant a standalone page. Overlaps with the context and coverage of Food contact materials and should be merged with that article (with a redirect left in place). WeWake (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
• :Agreed Bryan MacKinnon (talk) 23:13, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
