Thank you very much, its such a shame that even quality control is just another marketing gimmick rather than a genuine ethical concern for most companies.

Remember, the people that own businesses are usually business people. They look at things as investments. Doing proper analytical chemistry and science is difficult, time-consuming, and very expensive. That investment is very hard to justify for returns on. It's much cheaper to cut corners and do the bare minimum, or send it in to a lab that gives you the number you want to see. It's also VERY confusing for people who are not knowledgeable in chemistry. The depth of knowledge needed is very immense. So many times people just don't know what they don't know. They think they are doing a relatively good job of testing things, and they just don't have the knowledge to know any better. Then it becomes a case of not wanting to look under the rocks to see what is there. You'd rather just keep on operating like things are fine, and ignore any evidence that could question that. That's common is a lot of businesses. It's hard to convince people at the top to spend money for a potential benefit in the future.
