Made In Review, Is Made In Non-Toxic?
Made In averages 63 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 6 Made In products graded as of October 2026, and 4 of them reach its 70 point pass mark.
Made In grades Good on our four-band scale. On disclosure, the brand claims its products are PFAS-free (self-declared). See what every brand has published about PFAS for how that compares.
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 Made In says and does about PFAS
Made In discloses under California’s AB 1200 cookware law that its Non Stick line contains PTFE, FEP and PFA as intentionally added chemicals. That disclosure covers its Non Stick Frying Pan, Saute Pan, Saucepan, Rondeau, Saucier and Stock Pot, plus non stick pieces sold in sets. Made In markets its other cookware, including stainless and carbon steel pieces, separately, and does not extend a PFAS-free claim to the Non Stick line itself.
- Regulatory filingMade In’s AB 1200 disclosure says its Non Stick Frying Pan, Non Stick Saute Pan, Non Stick Saucepan, Non Stick Rondeau, Non Stick Saucier, Non Stick Stock Pot and non stick products contained in sets contain the intentionally added chemicals polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene and propylene (FEP), and perfluoroalkoxy alkane polymer (PFA).

- Brand statementThe same disclosure says the products are not in violation of any federal safety regulation, and that AB 1200 is a right-to-know law with no minimum content threshold for triggering disclosure. Made In ↗
