PFAS score

Jamie Oliver Tefal Ultra-Resistant Non-Stick Wok Pan
Skip if PFAS exposure concerns you; standard Teflon-type coating cookware carries inherent chemical risk.
Tefal's 'Ultra-Resistant' wok uses Teflon-type coating, the archetypal PFAS coating in non-stick cookware. The brand makes no PFAS disclosure or claims.

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.
Safer alternatives in Woks
