I have the same questions. I'm still learning about it as I have time, but I really trust the drugs.com website and based on what they had to say about it, along with other information, I decided to speak out against it. I have seen plenty of claims that it is safe for food, like ice cream, but so far I have been unable to find anything with it in the U.S., but I haven't looked that hard either.
Here is a list of more names. (80, specifically, is the subject. The other polysorbates may be fine - such as 60, for example.)

The search goes on.
(BTW. BulkActives sells polysorbate 80. While selling it may not cloud their judgment, I am still trying to find more neutral sources.)
