“PFAS-free” is not legally defined in the EU or other markets - it is a voluntary claim. To ensure full transparency, Braun Household, being part of the De’Longhi Group, has developed its own PFAS testing protocol in collaboration with an independent accredited institute. This protocol goes beyond existing regulations, such as POP, REACh and food contact material standards, and allows Braun Household to verify that the non-stick coatings used in its products meet specific internal requirements. When you see the “PFAS-free” label on a Braun Household product, it means the cooking surface has successfully passed this voluntary, additional testing process - reflecting the Group’s proactive approach to going beyond compliance.
