The problem with all this "So far" stuff is that almost all the product being sold right now came from the MMAR system.
I know this flies in the face of what some people are saying, but most of the product that has needed irradiation or has been reported as having mites, etc all came from MMAR operations and was brought into their facilities to finish growing and to ship. Some, from what I understand, was already packaged and ready to ship and they simply bought it and shipped it off with their labels (after testing of course).
Once these guys have fresh strains that they've taken from start to finish I would expect the quality to increase substantially.
The other problem is that companies like Tweed were approved before the "new" QA standards came into place and things got tougher. Security requirements, QA requirements, etc all increased over time and most of it happened after Tweed was already approved and working in their facility. My personal theory is that there was a deal made somewhere to let them get going quickly and produce bulk product to solve for the problem and then they would impose all the hard times after that was established so they aren't holding back the entire industry.
