Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fluoropolymer or silicone coating leaching (non-PFAS)., Thermal stability of coating at high baking temperatures. and Microplastic or coating particle migration into food. on the Regency and not on the If You Care.
  • We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the Regency.
  • The Regency is Cellulose paper with undisclosed silicone or fluoropolymer 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 Regency grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
