Mrs. Anderson's Half Size Silicone Baking Mat
Lower concern. Silicone baking mats are generally PFAS-free.
Mrs. Anderson's silicone baking mats are made from silicone rubber, an inherently PFAS-free material with no nonstick coating requiring fluorochemicals. No PFAS disclosure needed; standard silicone cookware carries low PFAS risk.

Why this grade
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
Category baseline
cookware is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This product is a silicone rubber mat, a polymer synthesized from silicon and oxygen. Unlike traditional non-stick cookware coated with Teflon-type coating (Teflon), silicone mats are not prone to fume release even at typical baking temperatures (up to 500F). Silicone does not contain volatile organic compounds that off-gas significantly during normal use, making it chemically inert under standard home cooking conditions.
The brand's record and disclosure
Mrs. Anderson's is a mid-tier kitchen-products brand with no known major safety recalls or scandals tied to this product line. The brand does not publicly disclose detailed material certifications or third-party testing results on their website. No independent lab recalls or regulatory warnings have been issued against Mrs. Anderson's silicone baking mats. Absence of disclosure is not the same as absence of compliance, but transparency is limited.
How it compares in its category
Silicone baking mats are substantially safer than non-stick cookware with Teflon-type coating coatings, which can degrade and release fumes above 500F. They also avoid concerns with ceramic-coated or enameled alternatives, which may leach lead or cadmium from glazes. Silicone mats occupy the lower-hazard end of reusable baking surfaces and are widely recommended by consumer safety resources as a Teflon-type coating-free option.
If you buy it
Hand-wash the mat in warm soapy water; do not use harsh abrasives that can degrade the surface. Respect the stated temperature limit (typically 500F for silicone); verify your model's specification. Replace the mat if you notice visible cracks, permanent staining, or surface degradation. Store flat or loosely rolled to prevent creasing that may shorten lifespan.
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 or degradation
High-quality food-grade silicone is chemically stable at normal baking temperatures. No established reports of leaching from Mrs. Anderson's silicone mats exist in public databases. Degradation is possible only if the mat is burned, overheated well beyond label limits, or physically torn.
Surface contamination and bacterial growth
Silicone mats can harbor bacteria if not cleaned thoroughly after use, particularly in grooves or stains. This is a hygiene issue, not a chemical hazard, and is easily mitigated by proper hand-washing and air-drying.
Teflon-type coating or similar non-stick coatings
Silicone mats are not Teflon-type coating-coated; they are solid silicone rubber. This product category avoids the fume risk associated with traditional Teflon or ceramic-Teflon-type coating hybrid cookware.
Heavy metals in dyes or additives
No recalls or test reports documenting lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals in Mrs. Anderson's silicone mats have been published. Food-contact silicone is typically formulated without toxic pigments, though full material disclosure from the brand is absent.
Adhesive or backing material offgassing
Some silicone mats use adhesives or fiberglass mesh backing; chemical emissions from these components are not independently tested or disclosed for this brand. Over time, minor VOC release is possible but is unlikely to exceed safe levels in a well-ventilated kitchen.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 88% 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.
