PFAS score
Zwilling J.A. Henckels · Grill & Oven Mats
ZWILLING BBQ+ Silicone Protection Mat
Lower PFAS concern, silicone-based mat with no disclosure needed, but verify material origin if sensitive.
This is a silicone protection mat, not a nonstick-coated cookware item, so traditional PFAS nonstick risks (Teflon-type coating, PFOA) don't apply. Silicone itself is not a Teflon-family coating and doesn't require PFAS for function.

Why this grade

Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
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.
