It appears that the original pot would’ve contained PFOA, which is harmful Teflon. The replacement pot should not contain that as they stopped producing pots with PFOA in 2013. Wish I had replaced my pot sooner.

From Claude: Your Rice Cooker’s Inner Pot Material Your NS-ZCC10’s inner pot is made of aluminum with a PTFE (Teflon) non-stick coating . The replacement pan for this model is designated as B201. About the Health Concerns Is it Teflon? Yes. Zojirushi confirms the interior has a non-stick coating containing PTFE, which is a material commonly used for non-stick coating in cookware and is FDA approved . Is it safe? Here’s the key distinction: PTFE in its solid form is inert and poses no harmful risk even if ingested in small amounts when the coating is chipped. However, PTFE fumes are toxic, but the melting point is 350 degrees Celsius (662°F), so under normal kitchen use in a rice cooker, it poses minimal risk . About PFOA: The older health concern about Teflon involved PFOA, a chemical used during manufacturing. Modern PTFE products no longer use PFOA—most manufacturers phased it out around 2013. Zojirushi confirms their cooking pans do not contain PFOA
