The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text.
Thanks to an intense lobbying push, manufacturers of frying pans and saucepans — including the SEB group, which owns Tefal — are exempt from this ban under the proposed law penned by French Green MPs.
Majority groups initially tried to delay the ban on kitchen utensils until 2030 — a timetable refused by the French Green MPs who instead suggested an exemption until 2026.
You mean that a pan has to age? Or is it a burn.
My point was that when the pan gets old and the non-stick parts starts going, you shouldn’t still keep it for 10 years afterwards.
It’s a pretty common thing I’ve seen, people not bothering to buy new pans when old ones get worn out.
So if one is trying to avoid exposure, keep your pans in good shape
Ah. Thanks for clarifying.
It read like we should age the pans before use like a fine wine. But this makes way more sense.
