PFAS score
Scanpan · Nonstick Saucepans
CLASSIC 2 QT Saucepan
Lower-concern option; Scanpan's ceramic-hybrid nonstick and PFAS-free positioning are credible, but independent third-party verification is absent.
Scanpan's CLASSIC line uses hard-anodized aluminum with a ceramic-reinforced nonstick surface marketed as PFOA- and PFAS-free. The brand does not disclose specific chemistry or hold third-party certifications (e.g., MADE SAFE), so the claim rests on company statements alone.
Brand says: “Scanpan markets its cookware as PFOA-free and uses a ceramic-reinforced hybrid coating claimed to be PFAS-free”
