Never mentioned anything about pathogens, just poor and unprofessional practice selling e liquids at a premium price $6.75 for 10 ml of single flavor thrown together under a dirty shelf, nic solution handled without gloves, sketchy measurements, no steeping, all ingredients added with already used pipettes in a 'slap dash' fashion.
Nothing wrong with that, right> I doubt you would
buy this stuff yourself given the choice of vendors using pristine labs and good recipes and handling in a befitting manner of a product for human consumption.
so we let the FDA set the standards?
there are plenty of health,safety and manufacturing
regs on the books.
good practices are good practices. if i walked in a place
that was dirty and disheveled that would be my first hint to
perhaps not buy there. places with poor quality control won't
stay in business long anyway.
if you understand that the ingredients are already FDA approved
as food or pharmaceutical grade and certified as such by the
manufacturers one would have to deliberately add contaminants
to adulterate the juice. mixing four or five stable ingredients together
is not the same as extracting plutonium and need not be treated
as such. common sense standards that one would use anyway
with out regulations are sufficient. a clean neat well organised
work area does not require obtrusive,expensive nor excessive
regulation.
at any rate where are all these mysterious basement or garage juice
making operations? who are running them? are there children present?
under what deplorable conditions do they operate under? do they
employ undocumented workers?
all these fixes for a so far non-existent problem and if were
a problem would be fixed naturally as the industry matures.
i'll give you the rubber gloves though.
