Every day people probably buy more vitamins by volume at supermarkets and drug stores. But I see no reason to believe any distributor is safer across all products sold.

Literally the only surprising one on the list is Slim Fast, and it's so surprising I'm wondering if they are using extremely old stock or something. The rest of the "supplements" are dick pills with names like "Sexy Monkey."
It's just not even the same market as the weekend warrior crossfit bro who takes whey protein and maybe gasp creatine.
The general problem is that whatever you look at you are likely to find a type of contamination that isn't being checked for with the same level of oversight as the food industry or the pharmaceutical industry.
It's crap, but it's not on the list.
It is on the list, and now that I look closer, yes the stock they are using is from 2009 when Slim Fast openly advertised that they used sibutramine. They have since stopped, so this list is somewhat suspect.
The "Slim Fast" that is on this FDA list is a knock-off from "Universal ABC Beauty Supply International, Inc."
