How Can I be Sure DuPont Non-stick Coatings Are Safe?
Prior to market introduction, DuPont non-stick coatings were subjected to exhaustive studies at the Haskell Laboratory for Health & Environmental Sciences. DuPont provided the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with full disclosure of materials used in its non-stick coatings, and the FDA found them acceptable for conventional kitchen use. In addition, health regulatory agencies throughout the world have approved the use of DuPont non-stick coatings on cookware and housewares. Cooks in more than 40 countries around the world have purchased billions of pots and pans with DuPont non-stick coatings. In all this experience, there has been no record of serious or chronic health effects, including cancer and birth defects.
