PFAS score
GreenPan · Bundt Pans
12 Cup Formed Bundt Pan Aurora Green - Bundt Pan - Nonstick Bakeware - Nordic Ware
Skip until GreenPan transparently discloses nonstick coating chemistry and PFAS status.
GreenPan markets this Bundt pan with a 'green' branding and proprietary Thermolon coating claimed to be derived from sand-based minerals. However, the brand does not publicly disclose whether PFAS are used in the nonstick formulation, coating process, or water-resistance treatment.
Brand says: “Aurora Green features GreenPan's thermolon nonstick coating technology (brand claims it is derived from sand); no explicit PFAS disclosure found”

Why this grade
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed

Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 38% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
