PFAS score
Pratt · Coffee Cups
Single Use Cups 8 or 12 count
Skip or contact Pratt for coating disclosure, single-use cups often contain PFAS-based grease barriers.
Pratt's single-use cups lack any PFAS disclosure or certification. Food-contact paper cups typically use fluorochemical coatings (PFAS) for grease and water resistance; Pratt has not publicly committed to PFAS-free alternatives. Without lab testing or a brand statement, risk remains uncertain but elevated for this category.

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.
