Every grade below is built from published materials, ingredient lists, certifications and brand disclosures, scored on one public rubric and ranked best-graded first. Each score links to the full breakdown of what earned it, and the numbers across the whole dataset are published too.

Are silicone baking molds non-toxic?

None of the 30 silicone baking molds we graded clear our screen. Non-toxic is not a defined or regulated term, so what we can tell you is what our graders recorded. Beyond PFAS, the hazards found or left unruled-out on silicone baking molds in this category are microplastics, VOCs and off-gassing, artificial dyes, aluminium leaching, undisclosed ingredients.

Why Silicone Baking Mold (Alphabet) grades highest here, and why that is not a pass

Every grade on this page is one sum. A category starts from a baseline, each disclosed material or coating adds risk points, and each thing the brand or a third party has published takes them away. Below is that sum for the winner, then for 1 product it beats, so you can see exactly where the 50 points between the top and the bottom of this silicone baking molds ranking come from. Nothing in this category reaches our 70 point pass mark, so this is the shape of the field rather than a recommendation.

What to watch for in silicone baking molds

Beyond the PFAS grade, these are the things our graders recorded on the 30 silicone baking molds in this category. We assess from materials, brand statements and published research. We do not lab-test.

  • Microplastics

    Plastic fragments small enough to shed from a product into food, water or air without anyone seeing it.

    Plausible but unconfirmed on 9 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. EPA

  • VOCs and off-gassing

    Volatile compounds that evaporate out of a material at room temperature, which is what a new product smell is.

    Plausible but unconfirmed on 7 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. EPA

  • Artificial dyes

    Synthetic colours added to food, cosmetics and textiles, most of them petroleum derived.

    Plausible but unconfirmed on 5 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. FDA

  • Aluminium leaching

    Aluminium migrating out of cookware, bakeware or an antiperspirant into food or skin.

    Plausible but unconfirmed on 1 more, meaning nobody has ruled it out. ATSDR

  • Undisclosed ingredients

    Not a chemical. The absence of one, where we found no statement from the brand about what it uses.

What the evidence says about PFAS in silicone baking molds

Minnesota’s PFAS law counts baking sheets and baking molds as cookware and has banned cookware with intentionally added PFAS since January 2025. Maine’s ban, which covers baking sheets, took effect in January 2026, and Vermont’s follows in July 2028. The US FDA says PFAS-based grease-proofing substances are no longer sold for food contact use in the US, and that negligible amounts of PFAS migrate from nonstick coatings. In Mamavation’s lab screening, most parchment papers showed no detectable fluorine, but two did.

How can you tell if silicone baking molds contain PFAS?

In this category we check for heavy metals, lead, cadmium. Lead, cadmium, arsenic and others that accumulate in the body. Language like stain resistant, water repellent or easy release usually means fluorinated chemistry even when PFAS is never printed on the box.

That is what our research turned up, not proof a brand has never said anything, and a missing statement is not evidence of harm. It is the reason those brands cannot score well on disclosure.

No. We score from published ingredient lists, materials, certifications, disclosures and third party lab results where they exist. Where a product has been independently tested we use that result and say so.
