Is Caraway third-party tested?

Last reviewed July 2026.

Yes — and the results are published. Caraway’s headline safety claims are backed by published third-party testing (Light Labs). That puts it in the verified tier of our table — the bar most "non-toxic" cookware marketing never clears.

Every claim, and where the proof stands

Ceramic-coated cookware (fry pans, Cookware Set)

Caraway maintains a public third-party-testing page and, per multiple independent write-ups, commissions Light Labs testing covering 200+ PFAS analytes and 20+ heavy metals, and shares results. The brand page blocks automated readers, so our summary of its contents is corroborated via independent coverage; the linked page is authoritative.

Published testing: Light Labs — read it yourself (current program; page live as of 2026-07).

How to read this

“PFOA-free” is true of virtually every pan sold today and is not the same claim as “PFAS-free” — PTFE itself is a PFAS. If a coating’s chemistry matters to you, the questions that cut through are: what is the coating, and who published the test? Our PFOA vs PFAS guide covers the first; the main table tracks the second for every brand here.

We do not test cookware — we index published third-party lab results and public legal records, with attribution, and make no health claims. A verdict describes the state of the published evidence for specific marketing claims, not whether a pan is safe or dangerous. An allegation is not a finding; a settlement is not an admission; a lab report speaks only for the samples tested. If a brand publishes new evidence, the page changes — the source always wins.
