IMUSA Ceramic Nonstick Wok - Gray
Lower PFAS concern; ceramic nonstick is a safer alternative to Teflon-type coating-based coatings.
IMUSA's ceramic nonstick wok uses a ceramic-based coating rather than traditional Teflon-type coating Teflon-family coating, making it a lower-risk choice for PFAS exposure. The brand does not publicly disclose PFAS status or certifications.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
