Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fluorochemical residues (PFAS) in silicone coating, Silicone coating degradation and migration, Chlorine bleaching residues in base paper and Microplastic shedding from coating 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 Silicone-coated parchment paper 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.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
