Leveraging safe, high-performance materials for kitchen utensils

Regulators are increasingly concerned with cyclic oligomers (cPAO) that leach from PA66 and other thermoplastic utensils into food during cooking. Once ingested, cPAO does not pass through the digestive tract or break down easily. It may remain in the body for prolonged periods, and its long-term effect on human health is still unknown. PA66 utensils also commonly melt and blister when used to cook with oil at temperatures above 200°C – which may increase the amount of cPAO that leaches into food.
