Silicone with no coating described, and no PFAS statement from the brand.
The product information we reviewed describes silicone mat, 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 Shop Silicone Pastry Mat OXO is made of, ingredients and materials
This is a silicone baking mat, a thermoplastic elastomer engineered for oven use. Silicone does not leach harmful chemicals into food at normal baking temperatures (typically up to 400-500°F). Unlike coated cookware, silicone mats have no enamel, ceramic, or non-stick coating that can degrade, peel, or release particles. The material is chemically inert and has been used in food-contact applications for decades with a strong safety record.
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.
Silicone degradation / particle shedding
With heavy use or abrasive washing, silicone mats can develop small tears or flaking at edges. While food-grade silicone itself is not toxic, persistent mechanical damage should trigger replacement to avoid micro-particle ingestion.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Odor or off-gassing from inferior silicone formulation
OXO mats have not been reported to off-gas odors at normal temperatures. Lower-cost silicone mats from unvetted manufacturers may emit noticeable odors; this product has no such record.
Leaching from silicone at elevated heat
Food-grade silicone does not leach harmful chemicals at typical baking temperatures (up to 500°F). This is well-established in food-contact material science and no recalls or toxicity reports exist for OXO silicone baking mats.
Heavy metals
OXO's manufacturing and supplier oversight is not publicly detailed, but the brand has no history of heavy metal or additive contamination in silicone kitchen products. Industry standards for food-contact silicone discourage such additives, though third-party verification is not documented for this specific mat.
Source, FDA ↗The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
OXO is a respected kitchenware brand owned by Helen of Troy, known for practical design and consumer safety focus. The company does not publicly detail PFAS avoidance in marketing, but their cookware and baking products have not been subject to major recalls or safety controversies in the public record. OXO products typically meet FDA food-contact material standards, though specific third-party certifications for this mat are not documented in available sources.
How it compares in its category
Silicone mats have lower concern than parchment paper in some respects (reusable, no chlorine bleach processing) but require proper care to prevent wear. They are comparable to or have lower concern than traditional non-stick baking sheets, which may have older Teflon-type coating coatings. This product sits in the mainstream segment; premium alternatives (like mats with explicit silicone certification) offer the same material safety but cost more. Budget mats from less-established brands carry higher risk of off-gassing or material degradation.
If you buy it
Use the mat on oven racks or baking sheets, avoiding direct flame or broiler. Silicone softens above 500°F, so stick to standard baking temperatures. Hand wash or rinse gently; avoid abrasive scrubbing that can degrade the surface. Replace if you notice tears, permanent staining, or sticky residue buildup (sign of material breakdown). Properly stored mats last 3-5 years; discard if they become sticky, odorous, or visibly deteriorated.
