OXO Good Grips Slice & Bake Cookie Helper Set of 2
Lower PFAS concern, plastic cookie scoops/shapers carry minimal risk if uncoated.
OXO Good Grips cookie helpers are molded plastic scoops without reported nonstick or water-repellent coatings. Polypropylene food-contact plastics don't require PFAS for their function and aren't a known PFAS source category.

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 consists of polypropylene (PP) plastic handles and scoops with no reported coating, glazing, or non-stick surface. Polypropylene is a commodity thermoplastic chosen for its heat tolerance (safe to approximately 100-120°C/212-250°F in brief contact) and chemical inertness; it does not leach bisphenol A (BPA) or phthalates under normal use as uncoated kitchenware. The material is not designed for stovetop or oven heating, only for measuring and shaping cookie dough at room temperature.
The brand's record and disclosure
OXO maintains a general reputation for functional kitchen design and safety-conscious manufacturing, though the company has not published specific material safety certifications or PFAS avoidance statements for this product line. No recalls or hazard advisories specific to OXO Good Grips cookie scoops are recorded by the CPSC. The brand's silence on PFAS is unremarkable for non-coated plastic utensil categories where fluorine-based coatings are not typically applied.
How it compares in its category
Cookie scoops and shapers made from uncoated polypropylene are among the safest options in the kitchen utensil category, offering fewer leaching risks than ceramic-coated alternatives (which may contain lead or cadmium) or silicone-coated metal scoops (which could off-gas if heated). This product avoids the thermal stress risks of metal handles and the potential volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of some painted or painted-composite tools. Comparable competitors (Norpro, Progressive, Rosle) also use polypropylene for similar scoops without documented hazards.
If you buy it
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight; polypropylene can become brittle over years of UV exposure or repeated thermal stress if washed in very hot water. Do not place in the oven, dishwasher, or microwave, and do not contact flame or high heat sources. Wash by hand with warm soapy water and air dry to maximize lifespan. Replace if handles crack or develop permanent warping, which can trap bacteria or dough residue.
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.”
BPA / Phthalates leaching
Uncoated polypropylene scoops do not contain BPA or phthalates in their base formulation and do not leach these compounds under normal cold or room-temperature use with dough or soft foods.
Thermal degradation and VOC release
If accidentally heated (e.g., left in a warm dishwasher or near heat), polypropylene may soften and potentially release trace volatile compounds; risk is low for hand-washing and room-temperature storage but increases if stored near heat sources.
Microplastic shedding
Repeated scraping or contact with sharp edges (cookie dough cutters) may gradually shed microscopic plastic particles; risk is minimal with normal scooping but accumulates over extended use and mechanical wear.
Bacterial colonization in cracks
If handles crack or handles degrade over time, bacteria and mold can harbor in crevices; hand washing and prompt drying reduce this risk significantly compared to dishwasher use.
Heavy metals in pigments
OXO Good Grips scoops are typically colorless or lightly tinted polypropylene; no reported cadmium, lead, or antimony pigmentation issues are documented for this product line.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 82% 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.
