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.

OXO and PFAS, common questions

Does OXO have PFAS?
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. Grades are model-based estimates built from published materials, ingredients and disclosures, not lab tests. OXO’s own disclosures list PTFE in its Non-Stick Pro bakeware and PFAS in its nylon utensils, while its Non-Stick Pro Ceramic Coated bakeware lists only aluminum.
Is OXO non-toxic?
Oxo Steel Pop Big Square Short - 2.8 Qt/2.6 l is the highest-graded OXO product we have scored, at 80/100. It depends on the product line rather than the brand, so check the grade of the exact item you are buying.
Which OXO products are lower concern for PFAS?
The highest-graded OXO products we have scored are Oxo Steel Pop Big Square Short - 2.8 Qt/2.6 l, OXO Good Grips Silicone Dough Rolling Bag, OXO Good Grips Silicone Baking Mat. That is our model-based estimate from materials and public disclosure, not a lab test.
Which OXO products should I avoid?
The lowest-graded OXO products we have scored are OXO Good Grips Nonstick Pro 2-Piece Sheet Pan Set, OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 12-Cup Muffin Pan, OXO Culinary and Utensil Set 17pc. Each one links to the evidence behind its grade.
