Bradshaw International Sweet Creations High-Temp Silicone Oven Baking Mat
Silicone with no coating described, and no PFAS statement from the brand.
The product information we reviewed describes silicone, with no applied coating named. Silicone releases food on its own, so a non-stick claim on a silicone product describes the material rather than a coating. The brand has published no PFAS statement for it.

What Bradshaw International Oven Baking Mat is made of, ingredients and materials
This is a food-grade silicone baking mat, a polymer made by cross-linking siloxane chains. Unlike traditional parchment or non-stick cookware coated with Teflon-type coating or other synthetics, silicone is chemically inert at typical oven temperatures (up to 600°F or higher, depending on formulation) and does not off-gas volatile compounds under normal baking use. The material is non-absorbent, reusable, and free from the coating-degradation concerns that plague traditional non-stick surfaces.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Coating degradation or peeling
If the mat uses a fabric backing or reinforcement layer, that component may degrade with age and repeated washing, potentially shedding fibers. The silicone surface itself is durable, but lower-cost variants may use lower-quality substrates.
Mold or bacterial growth
If the mat is not dried thoroughly after washing or is stored in damp conditions, the silicone-fabric interface (if present) or seams may trap moisture and encourage microbial growth. Proper air-drying and storage in a dry location mitigate this risk.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Silicone leaching or degradation
Food-grade silicone is recognized as stable at baking temperatures and does not leach known toxic compounds under normal use. No credible reports of silicone mats releasing harmful substances into food have been published in product safety databases.
Thermal fume release
Unlike Teflon-type coating-coated cookware, silicone does not release acrid, potentially harmful fumes when overheated. No published reports associate silicone baking mats with fume-related health incidents at recommended temperature ranges.
Heavy metals
Standard food-grade silicone mats are not pigmented with toxic colorants. If this mat is colored, no public recalls or warnings identify cadmium, lead, or other heavy metals in the dye, though no independent assay of this specific product has been published.

The brand's record and disclosure
Bradshaw International (the parent company) has no widely publicized PFAS commitment or third-party certifications on record for this specific product line. Sweet Creations branding is used for kitchen accessories; the company does not appear in major safety recalls or environmental/transparency disclosures for baking mats. No independent testing or certifications (such as FDA food contact compliance statements) have been verified in public sources for this exact SKU.
How it compares in its category
Silicone mats occupy a middle ground in the baking liner category. Unlike parchment paper, they are washable and longer-lasting, reducing waste. Unlike traditional non-stick cookware, they carry no Teflon-type coating fume risk or aluminum leaching concerns. Compared to reusable fiberglass-backed silicone alternatives, basic silicone mats may have shorter lifespans if the base fabric degrades, but they avoid heavy-metal concerns sometimes found in mixed-material baking liners.
If you buy it
Hand wash in warm soapy water rather than dishwasher when possible, to extend mat life and avoid thermal shock. Do not exceed the stated temperature rating (typically 500-600°F); sustained exposure above this can cause silicone to harden and crack over time. Replace if you notice visible damage, cracking, or loss of non-stick properties. Store flat or loosely rolled to prevent creasing that can trap moisture and reduce lifespan.
