Cookware Chemicals Disclosure
California Assembly Bill 1200 (“A.B. 1200”) is a law that sets forth disclosure and labelling requirements for manufacturers of cookware:
· “Cookware” means durable houseware items that are used in homes and restaurants to prepare, dispense, or store food, foodstuffs, or beverages. “Cookware” includes pots, pans, skillets, grills, baking sheets, baking molds, trays, bowls, and cooking utensils.
· “Kitchen Electrics” encompasses a variety of small, electric-powered appliances designed for kitchen use, including blenders, food processors, coffee makers, toasters, electric kettles, electric grills, waffle makers, electric skillets, mixers, hand blenders, food choppers, electric can openers, electric knives, rice cookers, juicers, and electric citrus presses. These appliances are tailored to streamline and enhance various aspects of food preparation and cooking.
· The disclosure and labeling requirements only apply when a listed chemical is intentionally included in the handle of the product or in any product surface that comes into contact with food, foodstuffs, or beverages.
· The designated chemicals are the Candidate Chemicals identified in the Safer Consumer Products Regulations.
** This includes all components such as rivets, handles, lids, vessels for both aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel.**
Information on Chemicals
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.
