National-Panasonic Rice Cooker 2.7L SRWA10
Lower PFAS concern; traditional design with stainless steel bowl, but no public PFAS transparency.
The Panasonic SR-WA10 uses a stainless steel inner cooking bowl without advertised nonstick coating, which reduces typical PFAS risk vectors. National-Panasonic has not disclosed PFAS policy or testing for this model.

Why this grade

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.
