Do Emerald air fryers have PFAS?
Emerald air fryers average 15 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 7 Emerald air fryers graded as of October 2026, level with the 15 out of 100 median for the 32 other air fryers brands graded alongside it.
Emerald air fryers average Bad on our four-band scale. None of them clear our buy threshold. That is above 41% of the air fryers brands we grade.
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
