Does Made In cookware have PFAS?

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 ↗
