Talk:Calcium propanoate

Requires neutrality check
This article requires careful examination to ensure that it does not give undo weight to minority positions, that claims are not presented as fact where convenient for one viewpoint (or both viewpoints - NPOV does not mean presenting contradictory extreme viewpoints), and that sources are clearly identified and labeled. For instance, the Food Intolerance Network is not a reliable source by any means - it cannot be used to present factual information, as it is in this article. Similarly, scitoys.com, while a nice site and a handy resource, is not acceptable as a reliable source. It can only present a claim as a claim; it contains nothing that we can call factual information.

I will do my best with this article, because I have no life right now. However, other eyes would be good. Captainktainer * Talk 09:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I've done a decent job of clearing things up. Please note that Baking Management (which I used as a source for bakery industry concerns) is an industry news source; I was careful to make factual claims only for what was patently apparent in the article. There are still a lot of fact tags scattered about; help with these would be appreciated, especially since it's still a heavily POV-weighted section. I would also appreciate it if someone could find a replacement for sci-toys.com information on calcium propionate. Captainktainer * Talk 10:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

How is this slightly toxic?
Is the effect cumulative or non-cumulative? Is the slight toxicity to humans a shoulder effect of being fully toxic to pests and insects? It's even used as a pesticide. Sagittarian Milky Way 17:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Deceptive paragraph
The paragraph describing the metabolism of propanoic acid is deceptive in that it implies that propanoic acid can not be metabolized. Whereas the article on Propanoic acid clearly says that propanoic acid is metabolized by vertebrates without any problem. Dr. Morbius (talk) 20:34, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I deleted the sentence that referenced a symptom of a very rare genetic disorder called propionic acidemia. Since this disorder is inherited and very rare, less than 1 in 100,000 people have it, the sentence was irrelevant. Especially considering that it was intentionally taken out of context in such a way as to imply that anyone could experience the symptom. I also edited the sentence about the metabolism of propanoate since it was also intentionally edited in such a way as to misrepresent propanoate metabolism. I used the Propanoic acid article as a reference. Dr. Morbius (talk) 21:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Improved Neutrality of article
I edited some paragraphs to more accurately represent the references that they used. Also removed a link to a site that was completely unreliable and full of pseudoscience and anecdotal evidence. Dr. Morbius (talk) 20:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Typo
There is a typo: Replace Ca(C2H5COO)2 with Ca(C3H5COO)2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.40.84.157 (talk) 16:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * That was not a typo. The original text is correct. Ca(C3H5COO)2 is calcium butenoate. Dr. Morbius (talk) 17:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're right, it was correct the first time. Thanks for catching that.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:27, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Question legality of Calcium Propionate in Great Britain
I didn't edit the article itself as I am an inexperienced editor, but I am in the UK and have a loaf of Warburtons Seeded Batch. Calcium Propionate is listed on the ingredients. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msknight (talk • contribs) 20:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Banning section needs at least one reputable source.
The banning claim has been up since at least August 2020, completely without source. Last call. If no reputable source of the banning information is introduced by December 1, the section will be removed. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 03:18, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Done, removed. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 14:51, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
