17-1/2" x 11-3/4" Non-Stick Cookie Sheet
Do not buy until the brand discloses coating composition.
Oneida does not disclose the nonstick coating composition or PFAS status of this cookie sheet. Most nonstick cookware contains Teflon-family coating, making risk assessment impossible without brand details.

What’s concerning
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Advertised as non-stick but coating type is not explained.
No PFAS disclosure
The company has not publicly discussed PFAS in this product.
Category baseline
cookware is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Teflon-type coating fume risk (if Teflon-type coating-based)
Oneida has not disclosed coating type. If Teflon-type coating, overheating above 500-600F can release perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) precursors and hydrogen fluoride gas. Risk is low under normal baking (typically 350-425F) but present if broiler is used or oven malfunctions.
Coating degradation and ingestion
Non-stick coatings degrade over time with use and age. Flaking coating fragments could be ingested. No specific data on Oneida's coating durability, but this is a known failure mode for budget non-stick products.
PFAS
The primary concern is lack of transparency. Without coating composition disclosure, consumers cannot assess total PFAS burden or compare to alternatives. This is a disclosure/accountability hazard, not a measured chemical hazard.
Source: ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Aluminum leaching
Aluminum substrates are generally safe under normal baking conditions. Leaching risk is minimal unless the non-stick coating is compromised or the pan contacts acidic foods (e.g., tomato sauce) for extended periods. No reports specific to Oneida sheet pans.
Lead
Modern US-manufactured non-stick coatings are not known to contain intentional lead or cadmium. Oneida products are subject to FDA food-contact regulations. No recalls or warnings on record for this product line.

What it's made of and why it matters
This cookie sheet carries a non-stick coating of unspecified type. Industry standard for this price tier is typically Teflon-type coating (polytetrafluoroethylene, DuPont's Teflon or generic equivalent), which can off-gas toxic fumes if overheated above 500-600F. Oneida has not publicly disclosed whether this uses Teflon-type coating, ceramic, silicone, or a proprietary blend. The substrate is almost certainly aluminum, which is generally food-safe but can leach slightly in acidic conditions.
The brand's record and disclosure
Oneida is a long-established kitchenware manufacturer with no known major safety recalls on non-stick bakeware in recent years. However, the company does not publicly provide coating composition details or PFAS test results on product pages or literature. No third-party certifications (e.g., GreenGuard, NSF) are advertised for this item. This silence on PFAS and coating chemistry is typical for mid-market cookware brands and represents a transparency gap, not necessarily a confirmed hazard.
How it compares in its category
Standard aluminum non-stick sheet pans dominate consumer bakeware. Oneida's approach is conventional but less transparent than competitors like OXO or GreenPan, which disclose Teflon-type coating absence or ceramic coating type. Cast iron, stainless steel, and parchment-lined alternatives eliminate non-stick chemistry risk entirely but require different handling. For convenience, this product sits in the middle of the safety-trade-off spectrum.
If you buy it
Hand-wash only; do not use high heat or broiler settings. Keep oven temperature below 500F to avoid fume release. Replace the sheet if the coating chips, flakes, or shows visible wear. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive scrubbers. Store flat or hang to prevent warping. Monitor for any unusual odor during first few uses, which could indicate coating breakdown.
