The kitchen is the heart of the home, and keeping it non-toxic protects your family’s food, air, and overall wellness.​
​
Cookware, storage containers, and utensils touch your food daily. If they contain harmful chemicals (like PFAS in nonstick pans, BPA in plastics, or aluminum leaching from cookware), these toxins can migrate into your family's meals and accumulate in the body.
​
Cooking releases fumes, steam, and even microscopic particles. If you’re also using chemical-heavy cleaning sprays, air fresheners, or scented dish soaps, those compounds mix into the food you eat and the air you breathe.
