None of the bags made in that facility were sold to the public. I remember because I was an original crowdfunder eager to receive my first shipment. They did not ship until they were producing it at the regulated co-packing facility.
Do you think that people with a rodent problem shouldn't invite others over for dinner? Do you think they shouldn't eat in their own home? Are your concerns actually about health or about the sanctity of food being corrupted by impurity?
About 20 million homes each year get rodent infestations. Even more have rats in them, but not at the infestation level. This is not limited to people in poverty or low incomes, either.
Commercial food prep facilities obviously should be held to higher standards, but this facility was basically the equivalent of doing it in their garage for test batch purposes, which I doubt you would bat an eyelash at.
I don't care about the standards they had as a startup before they had a commercial product. I care about the standards they have at the facilities creating the product I would be purchasing.
