Thanks much, appreciate it. We'll work on that Teriyaki. No Paypal yet, I'll let you know when ordering can start. Still is going to take a few weeks to get the website up and other office stuff too. Bags are also getting printed.

Whoaaaa!!! Glad I reread that. When I first glanced at it I thought it said, "phew, I need a vaccination!!!!" :lmao:
Had me wondering what all the USDA approval process involved that you had to get shots once it was over....for food poisoning? hoof and mouth disease?
Oh, and I am available for organoleptic testing!! (go ahead, look it up!!) :thumb:
I are a graduate of an A-pproved Fuud Inspektion Skool! :ahhh:
Have you ever read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair? Story about the meatpacking industry in Chicago in the early 1900's.....acknowledged as the reason why food inspection laws were developed in the USA!!
You funny guy. I found this on organoleptic.
List of Scoville ratings
Pungency values for any pepper, stated in "Scoville units," are imprecise, due to expected variation within a species—easily by a factor of 10 or more—depending on seed lineage, climate and even soil (this is especially true of habaneros). The inaccuracies described in the measurement methods above also contribute to the imprecision of these values. When interpreting Scoville ratings, this should be kept in mind.

9,100,000 Nordihydrocapsaicin
