This is actually quite true. In pharmaceuticals and medicine, we try to learn as much as possible about all points of interaction. My experience with food providers however, is that they are sometimes willfully ignorant on a greater understanding because of the potential that a particular food item would no longer be allowed. One of the labs I worked in was approached by a food provider to analyze one of their products, when we got the results they decided that they no longer wanted to know what compounds were present.
