Caraway 4-Piece Cutting Board Set
Caraway
4-Piece Cutting Board Set
A birch board set with strong plastic-free and FSC claims and a named oil-and-wax finish. It holds at 2 because the adhesive is not named, the FSC is not registry-confirmed, and the storage holder's material is undisclosed.
A four-piece birch board set the brand says is FSC-certified and made without plastics or forever chemicals. The open questions are the unnamed glue and the storage holder's material.
How this score breaks down

- Finished with food-safe mineral oil and wax
- Third-party tested per the brand, in line with its non-toxic cookware positioning
Trade-offs
- The adhesive that joins the birch is not named
- The storage holder's material is not disclosed, so a plastic part there cannot be ruled out
- The FSC claim is on the brand and retailer pages but not confirmed in the FSC registry

What's inside
The boards are birch that the brand states is FSC-certified, finished with food-safe mineral oil and wax, and the brand says the set is made without plastics, BPA, or forever chemicals and is third-party tested. The set also ships with a storage holder whose material the brand does not disclose, which is the one thing to check if you are avoiding plastic entirely.

About Caraway
Caraway is a kitchenware company founded in 2019 by Jordan Nathan, who developed it after overheating a conventional nonstick pan, getting sick from the fumes, and spending about two years building a non-toxic alternative. It makes ceramic-coated and stainless cookware, bakeware, food storage, and kitchen tools made without PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead, and cadmium.
The brand says its products are third-party tested for more than 200 types of PFAS and over 20 heavy metals, though that is lab testing rather than a certification from a named registry. Its ceramic coating is not a fluoropolymer but is still a coating with a finite lifespan, and non-toxic here refers to what is left out, not to being plastic-free; pricing is premium.
