Mrs. Anderson's Baking Silicone Jelly Roll Mat
Silicone mat; no PFAS disclosure. Contact brand for coating details.
Mrs. Anderson's does not disclose PFAS or coating details on this silicone jelly roll mat. Silicone itself is often PFAS-free, but surface treatments and release agents remain unknown without brand confirmation.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Mrs. Anderson's jelly roll mat is silicone, a synthetic polymer generally considered stable at baking temperatures. However, the brand does not publicly specify the silicone grade (food-grade vs. industrial), whether a non-silicone coating is applied, or any additives used in manufacturing. This opacity matters because cheaper silicone can leach into food under heat, and any hidden coatings (wax, resin, or polymer-based release agents) may carry their own risks.
The brand's record and disclosure
Mrs. Anderson's is a long-standing cookware brand owned by a major housewares conglomerate. The company does not publicly disclose detailed material composition, manufacturing standards, or third-party certifications (FDA compliance, BPA-free statements, etc.) for this specific product on their website or packaging. No recalls, lawsuits, or safety controversies are on record for this mat. The brand's silence on PFAS and coating details is typical for mid-market cookware brands but limits independent verification.
How it compares in its category
Silicone baking mats are inherently lower-risk than non-stick cookware coated with Teflon-type coating (Teflon), which can off-gas at high heat. Compared to parchment paper or ceramic baking sheets, silicone mats offer reusability and convenience but introduce small leaching and coating-durability unknowns. Premium competitors (OXO, Silpat) provide clearer certifications and material transparency; Mrs. Anderson's positions itself as budget-friendly, accepting lower disclosure as a trade-off.
If you buy it
Use only at the temperature range stated on the label (typically up to 400-500°F); avoid prolonged exposure to direct flame or oven edges. Inspect the mat before each use for tears, discoloration, or odors that may signal degradation. Hand wash in cool soapy water rather than dishwasher to preserve coating integrity. Replace every 3-5 years or immediately if the surface becomes sticky, flakes, or emits chemical smells. Contact Mrs. Anderson's directly to confirm the silicone type and any non-silicone coatings before buying if coating safety is your priority.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Silicone leaching (oligomers and additives)
Food-grade silicone is generally safe, but undisclosed silicone type and additives (plasticizers, catalysts) may migrate into fatty foods at higher baking temperatures. No recalls exist for this product, but the brand does not confirm food-grade certification.
Non-silicone coating degradation and leaching
If the mat has a wax, resin, or polymer-based release layer (not disclosed), wear and heat exposure can cause coating fragments or leachates to enter food. Visible flaking or stickiness indicates this hazard has begun.
Microplastics from mat wear
Repeated use, cleaning, and flexing can cause microscopic silicone particles to shed and potentially contaminate food, especially if the mat surface deteriorates or tears.
Lead or heavy metals in colorants
No reports of contamination in Mrs. Anderson's silicone mats. Modern food-contact silicones typically use benign pigments, but the brand does not certify this.
Thermal fume release
Unlike Teflon-type coating non-stick cookware, silicone mats do not produce acrid fumes at normal baking temperatures. Risk is minimal unless the mat is overheated or burned.
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.
