Ruffoni Opus Prima Hammered Stainless-Steel Wok with Tomato Knob, 4.75-Qt., Silver
Lower concern, uncoated stainless steel wok carries minimal PFAS risk.
This Ruffoni wok is hammered stainless steel with no nonstick coating, eliminating the primary PFAS exposure pathway in cookware. Ruffoni makes no PFAS claims either way. Uncoated stainless steel is a well-established lower-risk cookware material with no known PFAS contamination issues.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 85% 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.
