Does Tescoma non-stick baking molds have PFAS?

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.

We graded 8 Tescoma non-stick baking molds products, averaging Poor (46/100). None of them grade Good or better.
