If it's anything like a ninja foodie then you should probably only use it outside. Though hopefully someone else can give you a direct answer. You could also call the company since they may know

If the interior is non-stick, I'd be wary of it.
Even the 'new' non-stick that is supposed to be safe, I hesitate to use it, and especially not on a regular basis.
Good old stainless, glass, cast iron, and enamel cookware are what I use.
We were told at one time that Telflon was 'safe' too.

Is there a PFOA-Free and PTFE-Free on the box? if there is not a PTFE-Free sticker on the box, return it, it has a Teflon interior, if there is no stickers on the box it may be Teflon

Looks similar to an instant pot which is safe

Yes, but Instant Pots have a Stainless Steel bowl/insert. Some pressure cookers have a PTFE coated insert.

Web does say non-stick.

Crockpot reply from me asking if it is safe for use around birds:

I bought this four or five months ago in phone this page doing a Google search.
I love this crock pot and use it all the time. I don't know if this is the same one because I don't have the box and it doesn't show the front. I added a picture of the front since I had to look this up, Screenshot_20230422-051402.png PXL_20230422_120315892~2.jpg Maybe someone else will need it. I went to the Amazon website, found the same one and the manufacturer had answered someone asking if it was Teflon or not. I added that answer too.

Just wanted to add some final info for anyone coming in via Google search..
I've heard from enough people that no nonstick is safe. So I use my crockpot and air fryer in an add-on area farthest from her room that opens to the back yard. I use my covid era box fan too and keep temps under 380. No problems. I'm sure there's tons of threads on this forum with more info on the subject.

Side thought.. If self-cleaning ovens are that deadly maybe they should just stop making the toxic things.
