[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 504600, member: 1211"] Food is different, but this is how I see the deal with tobacco. The glass was shaped at around 2000°. Machines are likely packing the jars into boxes that have been barely touched by a human at the printing press, which are then heat sealed with plastic by a machine. Someone might be at the end of the assembly line stacking the sealed boxes of jars, but even that, I doubt it these days. There's more human contact at the department/grocery store when putting them on the shelves, but they're still in their sealed plastic. If you cut open the jar box and then wash your hands before directly handling the jars, you've pretty much avoided any contaminants. I don't wash my jars prior to use, and I've yet to have a mold problem. [/QUOTE]
