That scratched nonstick pan in your kitchen may not be as harmless as it looks.
Some nonstick cookware has been made with PFAS-related chemicals, often marketed for their resistance to oil, water, and heat. When cookware is damaged, overheated, or used for years, it may increase the chance of chemical exposure through food or air.
Convenience should not come at the expense of your long-term health.
Simple steps you can take today:
Throw away scratched or peeling nonstick pans.
Avoid overheating empty nonstick cookware.
Use stainless steel, cast iron, or glass when possible.
When replacing cookware, look for PFAS-free options.
