Reply #20: The difference is the packaging. [View All]

[Toucano]

You can drink bleach in your vodka if you want to. That's not the purpose for which bleach is produced and packaged, however. It isn't the manufacturer's intended use.

When a company produces a product that - when used as intended - has the potential to cause injury, the public deserves to know the risk.

The consumer has the right to expect that a product they purchase off the shelf is safe when consumed or used as intended. This is the job I expect regulators to perform on my behalf.

So, yes, there is a huge difference between whatever you concoct on your own and what a company mixes and packages for general consumption.
