The Food Contact Chemicals database (FCCdb, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3240108) is a compilation of information on over 12,000 intentionally added food contact chemicals extracted from publicly available sources such as legislation or industry inventories for different types of food contact materials and selected sources of hazard information, as described by Groh et al. 2021 (see DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106225). Structural information for ~6000 entries where clear mappings could be found was added by P. Chirsir into FCCdb Version 5, prior to hosting it on the NORMAN Suspect List Exchange. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4625495.

The Food Contact Chemicals database (FCCdb, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4296944) is a compilation of information on intentionally added food contact chemicals, extracted from publicly available sources such as legislation on food contact materials and industry inventories for different types of food contact materials. Where available, information from a few selected sources on hazardous properties and commercial use has been included as well. Further details on the information sources used are given in the READ ME worksheet of the excel file. The FCCdb intends to provide an overview of the diversity of food contact chemicals and their hazardous properties. Further details on the compilation and analysis of this dataseta can be found in the manuscript "Overview of intentionally used food contact chemicals and their hazards," by Ksenia J. Groh, Birgit Geueke, Olwenn Martin, Maricel Maffini, and Jane Muncke, published in Environmental International (DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106225).

Structural information has been added to this dataset (downloaded from DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4296944) upon request of the authors by Parviel Chirsir (during an internship at LCSB, supervised by Emma Schymanski) using CompTox and PubChem resources, before being uploaded to the NORMAN-SLE. Details are provided in the READ ME worksheet. See changelog file for a record of changes.

List of migrating and extractable food contact chemicals (FCCmigex) systematically compiled as a database using information from over 1300 studies under the ongoing Food Contact Chemicals and Human Health (FCCH) Project led by the Food Packaging Forum, described in Geueke et al. 2023, DOI: 10.1080/10408398.2022.2067828). The FCCmigex database (https://www.foodpackagingforum.org/fccmigex) includes >4,000 food contact chemicals and >24,000 database entries.

Updates: v0.2.0 - 1045 new entries added; v0.2.1 Duplicate entry (with CAS error) removed

A list of 140 PFAS from the Food Contact Chemical database (FCCdb - see S77), the database of intentionally added FCCs. Only seven of the 140 PFAS were also among the 68 PFAS found in the list of Migrating & Extractable Food Contact Chemicals (FCCmigex - see S112). Details in Phelps et al (2024) DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.3c03702. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11065904.

List of the 68 PFAS identified in migrating and extractable food contact chemicals (FCCmigex - see S112) by the Food Packaging Forum based on 47 studies, described in Phelps et al (2024) DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.3c03702. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11090482.
