T-fal · Grill & Oven Mats
Teflon-coated 16" x 16" Mesh Cooking Mat, safe for use up to 500F
Skip if PFAS-avoidant; Teflon-type coating is a known Teflon-family coating linked to PFAS manufacturing, despite cooking safety at stated temps.
This mat uses Teflon (Teflon-type coating), a Teflon-family coating historically manufactured with PFAS and released during production. While Teflon-type coating itself is considered stable at normal cooking temperatures (below 500°F), T-fal provides no disclosure about PFAS content, manufacturing practices, or third-party testing.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 82% 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.
