Krups Sandwich Express F132 Nonstick Sandwich Maker: Tested &
Skip until Krups discloses nonstick coating type; PFAS risk unclear.
The Krups Sandwich Express F132 features a nonstick cooking surface, but Krups does not publicly disclose the coating material or PFAS status. Without transparency on whether the coating is Teflon-type coating, other Teflon-family coating, or alternative nonstick chemistry, PFAS exposure risk cannot be ruled out.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
