Tefal has chosen a PFAS called PTFE as one of the basic materials used in the formulation of its non-stick coatings, because PTFE has exceptional non-stick properties. Public health authorities in Europe and the United States have demonstrated that PTFE is an inert substance that has no effect on the human body when ingested. These same authorities have confirmed that PTFE coatings do not pose a health risk when used in cookware.
