Agristarts and TC other labs have no reason to be more careful (this is science?) unless they're called on it. It does no good for you or me or even this entire forum to grouse about it; the large purchasers have the clout. Beef and vegetables are recalled--why not mislabeled plants? And, yes, I am very serious. I realize that people don't die as a result of getting a DC instead of a Mysore but misrepresentation is fraud. (If you honestly don't know the variety, just call them "bananas"; I've seen pots of these in WM and the other stores.)
