Fred Meyer - GoodCook Professional Durable Steel Nonstick Cookie Sheet Bakeware Pans (3 Pack), 1 Piece
Wait for the brand to verify the coating is PFAS-free.
GoodCook doesn't say what's in their nonstick coating. Most nonstick steel pans use Teflon-type coating or similar PFAS chemicals, and this one has no third-party testing.

Is Fred Meyer - GoodCook Professional non-toxic? What it is made of
This bakeware uses a steel substrate (not a material linked to PFAS) paired with an unspecified nonstick coating applied to the cooking surface. The coating material is not declared on publicly available product information, which is the core safety concern here. Without confirmation of the coating chemistry (whether it contains Teflon-type coating, PFOA, or PFAS alternatives), you cannot assess fume risk or leaching potential under normal or accidental high-heat use.
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.
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Marketed as non-stick without stating the coating chemistry.
Teflon-type coating fume risk
Coating identity unconfirmed; if Teflon-type coating-based, overheating above 500F can release fumes. At normal baking temperatures (375-400F) risk is low but not eliminated without verification.
Coating degradation and particle shedding
Budget nonstick coatings wear faster than premium alternatives. Scratching, chipping, or flaking introduces risk of ingesting coating fragments and exposure of underlying steel.
Steel surface corrosion if coating fails
Steel cookie sheets without intact nonstick or bare stainless can rust or corrode if stored wet. Once-compromised coating creates pathways for oxidation and metal leaching.
Unspecified coating chemical composition
Lack of public disclosure on coating type (conventional Teflon-type coating, Teflon-type coating-free, ceramic, silicone) prevents independent assessment of leaching, fume, or persistence hazards.
PFAS
Meyer has not ruled out PFAS-based formulations. Industry-wide, conventional nonstick still relies on fluorinated chemistry; confirmation of PFAS-free status from brand is absent.
Source, ATSDR ↗The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Meyer (Fred Meyer house brand) does not maintain public documentation of PFAS avoidance, Teflon-type coating content, or third-party verification for this cookware line. The brand has not published statements ruling out fluorinated coatings or committing to lower-concern alternatives. This silence is typical of budget retailers and does not confirm safety; it reflects lack of transparency on a known hazard class in nonstick products.
How it compares in its category
Budget nonstick cookie sheets often use conventional Teflon-type coating-based coatings because they are cheap and effective. Premium brands increasingly offer PFOA-free or ceramic-coated alternatives with transparent labeling. This product's lack of coating specification places it in the middle-risk zone typical of store-brand bakeware, where PFAS avoidance is not guaranteed. Stainless steel uncoated pans or ceramic-coated alternatives provide clearer safety profiles.
If you buy it
Keep oven temperatures at or below 400F to minimize fume risk if coating contains Teflon-type coating. Hand wash only; dishwasher use can degrade coating and release particles. Replace immediately if coating shows scratches, peeling, or visible wear, as degraded nonstick exposes bare steel and increases leaching risk. Request coating specification from Meyer customer service before purchase if PFAS status matters to your household.
