Teflon's predecessor PFOA is a PFAS, but there's not normally any remaining in the final produce. There is a valid concern with manufacturing of course, but not with use.
> Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It belongs to the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)) and has numerous applications. The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, a spin-off from DuPont, which originally discovered the compound in 1938.
PTFE is inert, it is not chemically active like a PFAS. The fact that it has a related chemical structure is interesting, but also not relevant.
Yes! that's the whole point of Wikipedia!
