| Cumin Co. | Stainless Steel | Teflon/Non Stick | Uncoated Aluminium | Brass, Copper | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nickel / Chromium Migration (Gut Issues, Autoimmune Diseases) |
No nickel-based alloy | May release trace nickel under prolonged acidic exposure (sensitization relevance) | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| PFAS / PTFE Exposure Polymer fume fever (temporary flu-like illness) |
PFAS-free | Not applicable | *Stable under normal temperatures; overheating may cause fume release | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Lead / Heavy Metal Risk (Neurotoxicity risk at elevated exposure levels) |
No lead-containing alloy | Food-grade compliant; migration regulated | *Coating dependent | *Regulated under BIS standards | *Risk depends on alloy composition & compliance |
