Material
Silicone baking mat, non-stick coating unspecified
Brand disclosure
Brand is silent on PFAS
Lab data
No public lab test
What’s concerning
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Advertised as non-stick but coating type is not explained.
Category baseline
PFAS exposure happens more often with clothing products.
No PFAS disclosure
The company has not publicly discussed PFAS in this product.
Fiberglass reinforcement leaching
Wilton does not disclose whether reinforcement layers are food-contact safe or whether adhesives contain chemical binders. High heat or damage could release fiberglass microfibers or adhesive components into food.
Silicone degradation and leaching
Budget silicone can degrade when overheated or exposed to solvents in cleaning products, potentially releasing oligomers (short-chain silicones) into food. No published migration limits for this brand are available.
Coating stability unspecified
The mat's non-stick surface coating material is not disclosed; if a proprietary top layer is used, thermal or mechanical degradation could introduce unknown compounds.
Microplastic release during wear
Repeated use, abrasion, and heating can cause silicone and fiberglass particles to shed into food. Risk increases with product age and surface damage.
What’s reassuring
Heavy metals
The mint green pigmentation raises theoretical concern for cadmium or lead in organic dyes, but no public record of testing or failure for Wilton silicone mats exists.

What it's made of and why it matters
Wilton silicone baking mats are food-grade silicone polymer sheets, typically fiberglass-reinforced for structural support. Unlike traditional non-stick cookware (Teflon-type coating/Teflon), silicone does not require fluorinated coatings and remains chemically stable under normal baking temperatures (up to 480F typically). The fiberglass reinforcement and any adhesive layers are not disclosed on product packaging, which limits assessment of leaching potential at high heat.
The brand's record and disclosure
Wilton is a major US baking brand owned by Essentials Group. The company provides minimal transparency about material sourcing, manufacturing standards, or PFAS use in coatings. No public third-party certifications (e.g., FDA food-contact validation, NSF) are listed for this specific product. No significant recalls or safety controversies specific to Wilton silicone mats are on public record.
How it compares in its category
Silicone baking mats avoid Teflon-type coating fume risks present in traditional Teflon-coated cookware and are reusable, reducing plastic waste from parchment paper. However, they lack the rigorous third-party certification common to premium brands like Silpat (certified food-grade silicone). Budget silicone mats are more prone to degradation and potential leaching from reinforcement layers if overheated.
If you buy it
Keep mats below 480F to avoid silicone degradation and potential leaching from fiberglass reinforcement. Hand wash rather than dishwasher to extend life; silicone can absorb odors and oils over time. Replace if surface becomes sticky, discolored, or cracked, as these signal material breakdown. Store flat in a cool, dry place; avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which degrades silicone elasticity.
