Does Le Creuset bakeware have PFAS?
Le Creuset bakeware averages 44 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 7 Le Creuset bakeware products graded as of October 2026, above the 15 out of 100 median for the 33 other bakeware brands graded alongside it.
Le Creuset bakeware averages Poor on our four-band scale. None of them clear our buy threshold. That is above 82% of the bakeware 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.
What Le Creuset says and does about PFAS
Le Creuset sells two kinds of nonstick and labels them differently. Its Toughened Non-stick PRO line says on the product page that it contains PFAS for its non-stick properties. Its Essential Non-stick Ceramic line says its ceramic coating is made without PFAS. So the answer depends on the line, and the product page says which.
