Why You Should Ditch PFAS – Simple Kitchen Swaps for a Healthier Home

Our homes are meant to be safe, but there might be hidden toxins hanging around, especially in the kitchen. One of the main offenders? PFAS chemicals. These sneaky substances can be found in everyday kitchen items, and they may end up in our food, potentially harming our health. The good news is that making a few simple changes can help create a kitchen free from these toxins.

What Are PFAS Chemicals?

PFAS Chemicals are man-made chemicals that help make products non-stick, waterproof, and resistant to stains. You’ll find them in everyday items like non-stick cookware, food packaging, and some appliances. They have earnt their name “forever chemicals” as they don;t break down easily and can even seep into your food when cooking (definitely not something we’d want on our plates).

How to Spot PFAS in Your Kitchen

PFAS chemicals are often hiding in:

  • Non-stick cookware
  • Takeout containers and fast-food wrappers
  • Baking paper and parchment
  • Plastic food storage containers
  • Cookware and appliances with non-stick coatings

If an item is labelled non-stick, water-resistant, or stain-proof, there's a good chance PFAS is involved. Even some kitchen appliances contain PFAS in their coatings, which means they could be contaminating your food every time you cook.
