PFAS score
Nordic Ware · Muffin Tins
Nordic Ware Jumbo Muffin Pan
Skip until brand discloses nonstick coating chemistry or switch to uncoated bakeware.
Nordic Ware does not publicly disclose whether this pan uses Teflon-type coating, other Teflon-family coating, or PFAS-free nonstick coatings. The nonstick surface is essential to product function but remains a black box. Without third-party testing or brand transparency, higher caution is warranted for frequent cooking contact with food.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
