"Non toxic" air fryers UK: what every basket is really coated with
Looking for a “non toxic” air fryer? Here is what touches your food in each one, part by part. We checked 12 air fryers sold in the UK, part by part. 10 are recommended on PTFE and other PFAS, all of them on the brand’s own written claim. 1 are shown as containing PTFE or other PFAS, from the brand’s own words or a test, and 0 say only “PFOA free”. For 1, neither the brand nor a test tells us what the coating is.

What the labels mean
Each status shows the evidence it rests on: an independent test, a brand lab report, a certificate, the material itself, a brand claim, or no information. A dash means we found nothing from the brand, a test or a certificate. “Recommended” means a source says the product is free from it, the label is not “No information”, and no test or brand source contradicts it. A brand claim is the brand’s own words; we quote them exactly.
