This does not preclude the possibility of someone contaminating the supplies after they come off the line, but it does make this much more difficult.
You are probably right there, in the 21st century. I'm not sure how much testing would have been done in the 1980s. Also, as I mentioned prions and certain chemicals might not show up. You can't find what you don't test for.
