Yes it is. If it gets in your food and you ingest it, it will just pass through your digestive tract without any toxic effects. It's not absorbable. However, it is recommended that you buy new pots and pans as soon as possible (speaking from a wear-and-tear point of view).

Is ingesting a fairly large amount of antifreeze dangerous?
YesYes
Does teflon coating on pans when ingested cause cancer?
While nonstick cookware with Teflon coating is safe for normal use at typical cooking temperatures, it can release harmful fumes if overheated. Ingesting small flakes of Teflon or particles that have peeled off is not considered a significant health risk for cancer. However, it is best to avoid using pans with severely damaged Teflon coating.
Why is teflon poisonous when ingested?
Teflon is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which can release toxic fumes when overheated. Ingesting large amounts of Teflon can cause flu-like symptoms due to the release of toxic gases like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Over time, PFOA has been associated with health issues like cancer and developmental problems.

What is the monomer of Teflon?
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
Is Teflon thermosetting or thermoplastic?
Teflon is a thermoplastic.
What is density of teflon?
Density of POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (TEFLON):The density of Teflon is 2200 kg/m3.
Are whales ingesting something dangerous?
Generally depends on what it is they're ingesting. In the past though we had caused whales to vomit as the vomit over time becomes a perfume. It was actually a very popular perfume for a while and then later on became illegal to do this as it had caused a great shortage in whales.
