About California AB1200

California’s AB 1200 requires manufacturers of listed cookware to disclose select chemicals if they are being intentionally added to the products’ food contact surfaces or handles to achieve a functional result, regardless of the amount added. While certain chemicals are components of stainless steel and aluminum alloy and may not meet the definition of “intentionally added,” these chemicals are listed for any products containing stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

PTFE, PFA and FEP are all fluoropolymers that create a non-stick surface on the food-contact surface of cookware and bakeware products. Although inert solids, PTFE, PFA and FEP are classified as PFAS substances and must be disclosed.

Given that PFAS is a broad categorization that includes thousands of fluorochemicals, we recommend visiting the below source to learn more about the different types of PFAS substances.
