Lower PFAS concern; standard aluminum rice cooker with no nonstick coating flagged.
The Tatung TAC-06L is a classic aluminum-pot rice cooker with stainless steel housing, no nonstick coating means no obvious Teflon-type coating or Teflon-family coating risk. Tatung discloses nothing about PFAS, which is typical for this product category.

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.
