I'm in full agreement unfortunately as there is substantial asymmetry in funding between the parties with vested interests it's unsurprising it starts to get complex.
Ultimately, I think it's appropriate for things to be tested in the context they are used. It's just really weird to me that some governments are examining the evidence but not requesting 2nd (let alone 3rd) party testing.
It seems very irrational. Chemicals have different breakdown characteristics when mixed. Dosages are different from before. Consumer exposure is different.
Even if the impact is minimal, you should test and prove that it's minimal.
That they have avoided it makes me think they have something to hide.
