Wilton · Silicone Cutting & Prep Boards
SAG Large Non Stick Silicone Sheet Dough Fondant Baking Pastry Icing Rolling Mat Pad
Silicone baking mat; PFAS risk likely low but coating composition undisclosed.
Food-grade silicone is inherently PFAS-free. Wilton discloses no nonstick coating details, leaving uncertainty about any topical treatments. Direct contact with food makes full transparency ideal.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is a silicone rubber sheet, likely food-grade silicone polymer (polydimethylsiloxane), with an unspecified nonstick coating on the working surface. Silicone is chemically stable at typical baking temperatures (up to 400-500°F) and does not leach monomers the way some plastics do. The nonstick formulation is not disclosed by Wilton; it is not Teflon-type coating (Teflon), which means fume risk from overheating is minimal, but the coating's exact composition and durability under wear remain manufacturer-opaque.
The brand's record and disclosure
Wilton is a legacy cake-decorating and baking brand owned by Ziploc parent Eastman. The company does not publicly disclose material safety data (SDS) or independent certifications for this specific mat on their website. No recalls for this product line appear in FDA or CPSC databases. Wilton's silence on coating composition and PFAS use is typical for the commodity baking-mat market but reflects minimal transparency.
How it compares in its category
Silicone baking mats are among the safest nonstick baking surfaces; they avoid metal cookware risks (aluminum leaching, ceramic glaze hazards) and are reusable, reducing plastic waste. Competitors like Silpat and OXO offer similar products with equally opaque coating specifications. The main trade-off is durability: silicone mats degrade faster than professional-grade alternatives and may shed small rubber particles after extended use or high heat.
If you buy it
Follow manufacturer limits: do not exceed 400-500°F; hand wash rather than dishwasher, which accelerates coating wear. Inspect the surface regularly for cracks, discoloration, or peeling; replace if the nonstick coating visibly degrades or rubber begins to flake. Store flat or loosely rolled to prevent permanent creasing. Do not use under direct flame or in broilers; air oven use only. Replace every 3-5 years depending on frequency of use.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Nonstick coating degradation and particle shedding
Wilton does not specify coating material or durability testing. Silicone mats can degrade over time, especially with high heat or dishwasher use, potentially releasing small rubber particles into food; this is a wear issue rather than a chemical toxicity issue.
Thermal stability and fume risk
Silicone itself is stable to ~400-500°F; unlike Teflon-type coating nonstick coatings, silicone does not produce toxic fumes at normal baking temperatures. No documented fume incidents for this product exist.
Leaching from silicone polymer
Food-grade silicone is designed to resist chemical leaching into food at typical baking temperatures. No reported leaching of silicone monomers or additives from Wilton's mats into food; silicone is an inert polymer.
Heavy metals or pigments in silicone formulation
Wilton does not disclose additive packages (colorants, UV stabilizers, release agents). No recalls or test reports document heavy metals in commodity silicone baking mats; industry-standard food-grade formulations avoid cadmium and lead.
Allergenicity or contaminant risk from material
Silicone does not contain natural rubber proteins and is not a documented allergen. No batch contamination recalls for this product line are on record.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 65% 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.
