This kind of issue is why the food safety and modernization act (or some version thereof in US) is a necessary evil. http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/ http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/ People on the internet (including HN) often consider this act a conspiracy by Monsanto and friends to seize control of the worlds food supply, but the simple fact is that people are regularly endangered by food they eat and there haven't been proper controls in place to address many easily preventable hazards. Just like restaurants, there needs to be some regulation and inspection of food production. No, before you can even think it.... I'm not a paid Monsanto shill (was accused of this multiple times last time this came up here on HN) nor am I fan of big centralized seed/chemical companies. I am however a fan of safety and good sense. Just because a small producer does it doesn't mean it is necessarily better or more natural.
