Their official statement is they don't know and it's also possible for the growing conditions to cause this. These seeds are probably worth $300 to them. They will destroy them and move on. I've seen no evidence it's even known to be the Zucchinis. This is a science issue and more boringly a public health issue. Like you say, what if it is the soil for instance.

If I were running this seed company, I would personally be driving to this customers house to taste the fruit for myself and dig up the plant. I'd document it all with pictures and video. While the seeds might only be worth $300, the reputational damage is huge, the lawsuits are big, and the chance of prison is very real. I'm totally wanting solid evidence to exonerate myself and my company if it exists. If I do find the fruit to be extremely bitter, it's probably best to use language like "as a precaution" in my press releases anyway...
