TATUNG 6-Cup Rice Cooker Stainless Steel Multi-Functional -Vanilla Cream tac-06in tac 06in

F · High PFAS

Lower-concern cookware; stainless steel construction minimizes PFAS risk, but interior surfaces lack transparent disclosure.

The Tatung TAC-06IN rice cooker is constructed primarily of stainless steel, a material not associated with PFAS. However, Tatung provides no public disclosure about coatings or treatments on cooking surfaces, and no third-party PFAS testing has been published for this model.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
