About Teflon
Convenient. Tested. Trusted.
The facts are these:
- Your cookware coated with Teflon non-stick is safe. Cookware coated with Teflon has been safely used for more than 40 years.
- Cookware with Teflon non-stick coating shows no detectable levels of PFOA, according to independent studies and published research conducted under normal cooking conditions. There has been a lot of confusion about PFOA, a common chemical used in the manufacture of non-stick coatings. Cooking with pans coated with Teflon non-stick does not release PFOA into your food.
- The government is studying PFOA, not Teflon. DuPont has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their leadership in reducing PFOA emissions. The EPA has consistently said there is no reason to stop using non-stick cookware.
