The mission of the CMA keeps consumer safety at the forefront of all we do. That’s why we have partnered with the Good Housekeeping Institute for a series of podcasts. GHI is driven by the same mission of providing vital information to make good buying decisions. GHI focuses on the testing and science behind houseware products reinforcing safety and regulations.
In this episode, we learn about the testing conducted to answer the question – is nonstick cookware safe? Nicole Papantoniou, Deputy Director, Kitchen Appliances & Technology Lab joins host, Fran Groesbeck, as they discuss the expert findings of putting nonstick cookware to the test.
Highlighted test findings:
- Safe when used, as long as they aren’t overheated.
- If overheated, the fumes that may be formed will not be enough to make you sick.
- If chipped and ingested, it will pass through the body without being absorbed or any ill effect.
- PFOA has been completely phased out from the manufacturing of cookware. When it was used, there was no risk to consumers as it was driven out in the manufacturing process.
