PTFE is made using using a process that uses PFOA or another, similar fluorosurfactant. There are likely trace amounts of these fluorosurfactants left behind in the PTFE, which might be enough to cause issues.

Not anymore, the current process does not use PFOA anymore. I think maybe 10 or 20 years now.

  Right, it uses other, similar flourosurfactants.
