Honestly, none of the language you're quoting is reassuring. There are qualifiers like "most likely" and "relatively safe", and the not-at-all-reassuring "Ingestion of PTFE is not reported to be toxic". This is very different from "known to be non-toxic". So many industries (in the US at least) operate in a way similar to "shoot first, ask questions later". When it comes to health, it should be the reverse. Clearly they sold the original formulation as safe, until it wasn't, so why trust the new formulation? To me, it's not worth the gamble when we're discussing a new chemical that's being transferred into all of my food. There are plenty of alternatives with a slight decrease in comfort but the benefit of having been tested for hundreds (or thousands) of years.
