Does Glad bakeware have PFAS?
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.
We graded 8 Glad bakeware products, averaging Bad (15/100). None of them grade Good or better. Against the other 30 bakeware brands we grade, where the middle brand sits at 17/100, Glad is worse than typical, scoring above 27% of them.
Graded and flagged Poor and Bad, we’d swap these
