It seems the free-market is alright regulating itself by making these berries an issue.

Not quite-- I still don't know who's making them.

That is why you buy them anyways. If you get sick, you will know not to buy from the seller again. Or if you die from food poisoning, your family will know not to buy from the seller.

Libertarianism, in all it's glory. O how my heart yearns to try all those things that my oppressive government thinks are 'dangerous' to be mixed in with my food and pharmaceuticals. If I want to use mercury to homeopathically cure my brain tumor, goddamn it, I should be able to buy it from a basement pharmacist. Prop 215 can suck it. Lead paint for life.

I have yet to see any direct evidence of that.

This is assuming regulations means provisions provided by a government monopoly and not regulations provided without force.

Read 'The Jungle', son.

Yes because accountable regulation would exist as opposed to regulatory monopolies that cannot fail and be easily displaced.
