Tefal TS-01039400 Grill Lower Plate, Black
Skip if PFAS-concerned; T-fal makes no PFAS disclosure for this grill plate.
This Tefal grill plate uses traditional Teflon-type coating nonstick coating, a Teflon-family coating that is chemically a PFAS-class compound. T-fal provides no public statement about PFAS-free status or phase-out plans for this product line. If you want to avoid fluorinated coatings, choose cast iron or stainless-steel alternatives.

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.
