Pizza Hut X Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Big New Yorker Pizza Box 16”
Skip or contact Pizza Hut directly, typical grease-resistant pizza boxes often contain PFAS, but no public disclosure available.
Pizza Hut does not publicly disclose PFAS content or treatment method for this pizza box. Standard pizza-box coatings historically use aqueous or fluorinated repellents; industry practice suggests potential PFAS presence for grease resistance, but no lab data or brand claim confirms or denies it.

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.
