The Cookware & Bakeware Alliance (CBA) proudly introduces the first of a series of educational downloads focusing on PFAS Education.
To download PFAS Education Part 1:
Cookware, PFAS, and PTFE, visit https://cookwareandbakeware.org/good-science/. There, you’ll also find a video series and important links to help in your research around the concerns with the use of PFAS.
The members of the CBA develop standards to promote the welfare of the cookware industry and improve its service to the public. The CBA Engineering Standards are continually updated to reflect changes in materials and technology and include test methods for nonstick finishes on cookware that when followed ensure coating performance and durability.
CBA supports the responsible manufacturing and safe uses of PTFE and other fluoropolymers, and a science-based approach to regulations that benefit human health and the environment. CBA supports labeling provisions to alert consumers to the presence of PFAS, but based on current science, considers it unnecessary to prohibit sales and eliminate consumer choice.
Knowledge is powerful. This is a key element in why The Cookware & Bakeware Alliance was formed back in 1922, to collect and share important information and create safe consumer products. They answer questions and share resources on important topics facing the cookware and bakeware industry.
“Many times, only part of the answer is shared, or one viewpoint. We wanted to make information more easily accessible to help provide resources and access to more information on important topics. We now bring all of this information to our website to share and promote Good Science.” explains CBA Managing Director, Fran Groesbeck.
