PFAS score
Scanpan · Stainless Steel Cookware
ES5 10-Piece Cookware Set
Moderate concern, nonstick cookware without transparent coating disclosure carries inherent PFAS uncertainty.
Scanpan ES5 is hard-anodized aluminum with a nonstick surface, but the brand does not publicly specify whether the coating uses Teflon-type coating, alternative Teflon-family coating, or PFAS-free chemistry. Scanpan has not issued PFAS-free claims or third-party certifications for this line.

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.
