Please stop using vintage Pyrex glassware for cooking & serving food — it’s often coated with high-Lead paint & can test positive for Cadmium, Arsenic
400 ml Pyrex (made in Germany) beaker painted with LEAD PAINT! 22,300 ppm Lead. 5000 ppm & up is officially “Lead paint”!
Pyrex® Glass Measuring cup (c. 1994): 6,253 ppm Lead in red Outside Markings (90 ppm is unsafe for kids)
Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup: Positive for 326 ppm Cadmium in the Red Exterior Writing. 75 ppm is illegal in Denmark.
Purple Pyrex glass measuring cup: 20,700 ppm Lead (90 is unsafe*) +175 ppm Cadmium (Yum! What are you baking with?)
“How much Lead is in my vintage Pyrex?” Here are pictures of each one I’ve tested, with links to test results.
