What Yeti says and does about PFAS

YETI says the ceramic lining of its pitcher does not contain any intentionally added PFAS. Its supplier restricted substances list says YETI and its suppliers eliminated all long-chain PFAS from production across product categories in 2021, and continue to explore PFAS-free materials in all applications. That 2021 statement covers long-chain PFAS, not every PFAS.
