Ninja Foodi XL OL601 8 Qt. Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer
Skip unless Ninja discloses the non-stick coating chemistry; PFAS risk unclear.
The Ninja Foodi XL features a non-stick interior, but Ninja does not publicly disclose the coating type or PFAS status. Many pressure cooker non-stick surfaces use Teflon-type coating or Teflon-family coating without explicit labeling. No third-party testing or PFAS-free certification is available.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
