Independent Testing & Materials

Proof, not promises.

Every coated Alva line is tested against a 638-substance PFAS panel — including PFOA, PFOS, and PTFE — and our uncoated lines are tested for heavy-metal migration against U.S. FDA food-contact limits. All testing is carried out by independent third-party laboratories: TÜV Rheinland and Intertek. We publish every report below so you can verify our claims, not just trust them.

638substances screened per line
0detections above reporting limit
9lines with published reports
2independent labs — TÜV Rheinland & Intertek
How to read this: PFAS results are reported as “Pass — below the laboratory reporting limit,” meaning every substance in the 638-substance panel (which includes PFOA, PFOS, and fluoropolymers such as PTFE) was below the lab’s detection threshold, against a requirement of non-detection. We state only what our reports document, and publish each PDF as it is finalized.

What we test for

Three categories, tested by independent labs — not self-certified.

PFAS — 638-substance panel

The “forever chemicals” family, including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxA, PFHxS, and C9–C14 PFCAs. PTFE (Teflon) is a fluoropolymer within the PFAS family; our nonstick surfaces are ceramic, not PTFE.

Lead & cadmium

Heavy metals that can migrate from coatings and glazes. Every Alva cookware line is tested against U.S. FDA food-contact limits and passes.

Food-contact suitability

Extractives and migration testing under U.S. FDA 21 CFR — verifying what touches your food stays out of it.

Other lines

Our uncoated Maestro 5-Ply Stainless cookware — a separate line from the Maestro 5-Ply Nonstick Stainless shown above — has no nonstick coating at all, so there is no PFAS or PTFE present by design. Its California AB 1200 disclosure — the DTSC-listed elements inherent to 18/10 stainless steel — is published on our Chemical Disclosure (AB 1200) page. Reports for the remaining lines are published here as they are finalized.

Questions about our testing

Is Alva cookware PFAS-free?
Yes. Every coated Alva line is independently tested by TÜV Rheinland against a 638-substance PFAS panel, and all lines passed with every substance below the laboratory reporting limit. Report numbers and dates are listed above, with downloadable PDFs.
Is Alva nonstick PTFE- or Teflon-free?
Yes. Our nonstick surfaces are ceramic, not PTFE (Teflon). PTFE is a fluoropolymer within the PFAS family covered by our 638-substance testing, which passed.
Does Alva cookware contain lead or cadmium?
No. Every Alva cookware line is independently tested against U.S. FDA food-contact limits, with lead and cadmium below the limits. Reports for Neat, Maestro, Mobi, Nori, Forest, Artist and Black Angus are published above; reports for the remaining lines are publishing as they are finalized.
What is the AB 1200 chemical disclosure?
California Assembly Bill 1200 requires cookware makers to disclose chemicals on California’s DTSC Candidate Chemical List that are intentionally added to a food-contact surface or handle. We commissioned independent Intertek formulation reviews for our lines and publish each one as a PDF above. A disclosure is transparency, not a warning — many everyday materials, including stainless steel and aluminium, contain listed elements. PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, PFOS and BPA are not intentionally added to any Alva cookware. The full collection-by-collection disclosure, including the maximum oven temperature for every product, is on our Chemical Disclosure (AB 1200) page.
Who tests Alva cookware?
Two independent third-party testing organizations. TÜV Rheinland carries out our PFAS and food-contact testing at its chemical laboratories in Ningbo (PFAS) and Shanghai (food-contact), and Intertek carried out the food-safety and performance testing for our Nori, Forest and Energy lines. Reports are commissioned by ALLINOX BV, Alva’s Belgium-based parent company.
