PFAS & BPA in Air Fryers: A 2026 Regulatory Timeline for Importers

October 10, 2026

Regulators on four continents are tightening rules on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and bisphenol A (BPA) in food-contact materials. For air fryer importers, the practical question is no longer "is it banned?" but "can my OEM prove it, per model and per batch?"

The trend

The direction of travel is consistent: move from "allowed unless proven harmful" to "restricted by default." Buyers importing into the US, EU, Canada and Australia should now request third-party test reports for every model and production batch, and should prefer OEMs that design coatings out rather than relying on compliance at the margin.

2026 regulatory timeline

Market 2026 status Implication for importers
United StatesState-level PFAS bans phased in 2025–2027; several states restrict PFAS in food-contact itemsDemand state-specific compliance declarations
European UnionPFAS restriction proposal under ECHA review; broader universal PFAS approach advancingPlan for a coating-free fallback SKU
CanadaProposed prohibition on certain PFAS; consultation ongoingWatch for published final rules
AustraliaUnder assessment for food-contact PFAS limitsAlign with EU/US declarations

Note: this timeline is a sourcing guideline, not legal advice. Confirm the latest published rules with the relevant market authority before import.

EPRO's position

EPRO designs with "no intentionally added PFAS or BPA" as a baseline. Glass-basket models remove the sprayed non-stick coating entirely. Every order is third-party tested, and test reports are available on request against the quoted model. With 8 dual-heating lines and 500,000 pcs/month capacity, EPRO supports both coated and coating-free programs from one 12,500 m² plant, MOQ 500 pcs/model, 35–40 days lead time.
