What Farberware says and does about PFAS
Farberware’s own chemical disclosures say its traditional nonstick cookware, including the Classic Series and Reliance sets, contains intentionally added PFAS, listing PTFE, FEP and PFA. Its Vibrance ceramic line is marketed as made without PFAS, PFOA or PTFE. Independent testing found PTFE on a Farberware Reliance skillet sold with a no PFOA claim, so check the grade of the exact product you are buying.
