Foods/Products that contain High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Open-ended, unsourced list. Some entries are problematic—for example, not all varieties of Coke or Pepsi products contain HFCS. The bigger problem is that there is no reliable source for the products being on the list. Too much original research, not enough verifiability, and an ill-defined large population make this an inappropriate list. —C.Fred (talk) 04:33, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unsourced, no criteria for inclusion (its simply not notable if a product contains, say, 1% hfcs). noble goal, but doesnt belong on WP, rather an advocacy site. Interested parties should simply make sure that the articles on these products list their ingredients, and that the article on HFCS have a small list of notable foods with significant HFCS content (say >50% of calories from it). nothing salvageable here as its not sourced. and i am not a shill for coca cola. personally, i think the substance should be banned in food products. (just to show i am not biased AGAINST this article).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:44, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, unsourced list, whose inclusion criterion is not properly defined. Written more like an advocacy statement than an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. J I P  | Talk 07:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mercurywoodrose, also WP:NOTDIRECTORY   C T J F 8 3  chat 09:56, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've started a discussion on whether a category should be created for this instead of a list. Please see Talk:Foods/Products that contain High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) for that discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 14:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * please don't delete the page. I have retained many points and they can be edited and sources added. I am working on the page as we speak. Please give this time for me to make the page Wiki Appropriate. There is over 900 comments in my source citation that are specific to this. Anybody can verify the ingredients at the store. These are factual. Thanks


 * Delete per nomination. Then create a category for foodware that has been reliably proven to contain HFCS, as suggested on the article's talk page. De728631 (talk) 16:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Do not make a category because containing HFCS is not a defining feature. You can't categorize every food by every ingredient. Polarpanda (talk) 23:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Aside from the other comments, another huge issue with this list is that from a global perspective, the formulation of food products and their ingredients differs from country to country. Not all products have HFCS in all instances of the product globally. -- Whpq (talk) 17:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not even all products under the same brand name within the same country contain HFCS. Compare Dr Pepper from most US bottling plants against the formula from Dublin, Texas, or mainline Coca-Cola against the production runs that are kosher for Passover. —C.Fred (talk) 18:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)


 * OK keep because a list enables annotation to explain just which instances of a product contain HFCS. Give it time for improvement. Polarpanda (talk) 13:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
