This page is provided by G & F Products, Inc. to satisfy the online disclosure requirement of California Health & Safety Code § 109012 (Assembly Bill 1200).

About AB 1200

California’s AB 1200 (Health & Safety Code § 109000 et seq.) requires manufacturers of certain cookware to disclose whether chemicals on designated lists are intentionally added to a product’s food-contact surfaces or handles. AB 1200 is a California-only law. Beginning January 1, 2023, manufacturers must identify such chemicals on their website; beginning January 1, 2024, manufacturers must also identify those chemicals on the product label where the product bears packaging or a label.

“Intentionally added” means the manufacturer added the chemical to the product and the chemical has a functional or technical effect in the product. The complete set of chemicals and authoritative lists that DTSC uses is maintained by DTSC at https://dtsc.ca.gov/scp/authoritative-lists/.

Product: BBQ Grill Mat / Grilling & Baking Mat (100% non-stick, reusable)
Brand: G & F Products

Chemical Disclosure

The product’s non-stick food-contact surface contains the following chemical present on a designated list. The “Authoritative List” column names the list referenced by DTSC in compiling the designated list, and the link points to the corresponding DTSC / CalSAFER record and authoritative-list source.

Component Chemical (as disclosed) CAS RN Authoritative List (per DTSC) Link
Non-stick cooking surface (food-contact) Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) — specifically Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 9002-84-0 CECBP – Priority Chemicals (California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program) Authoritative lists

Handles: not applicable — this product is a flat mat and has no separate handle component.

Why PTFE is present. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is applied to the woven-fiberglass mat to provide its non-stick cooking surface and heat resistance. It is intentionally added for that functional purpose. PTFE is a fluoropolymer within the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family, which is why it appears on the applicable designated list and is disclosed here.
