OXO Review, Is OXO Non-Toxic?
OXO averages 53 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 39 OXO products graded as of October 2026, and 22 of them reach its 70 point pass mark.
OXO grades Good on our four-band scale.
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 OXO says and does about PFAS
OXO’s required material disclosures are specific. Its Good Grips Non-Stick Pro bakeware, such as the half sheet pan and jelly roll pan, is listed as containing PTFE, and its Good Grips Nonstick, Good Grips Pro Nonstick and SoftWorks cookware may contain PTFE and PFAS. Its Non-Stick Pro Ceramic Coated bakeware lists only aluminum. OXO also lists PFAS in its Good Grips and SoftWorks nylon utensils, so check which line and material you are buying.

OXO is one of the brands we researched by hand for our record of what every brand has published about PFAS, where the same question is answered for each of them in one line.
