Never heard of the brand you're commenting on but if it is in fact 16m, that would be the upper end of pure capsaicin. Essentially, that's not a pepper and not meant to be eaten raw. This can cause extreme physical harm. Either they're lying about the scoville rating or they're inviting lawsuits.

I love hot foods but ingesting something 3x that of pepper spray is asking for a trip to the hospital. Or they're lying.

It's made with pure capsaicin crystals and from what I recall, Carolina reaper powder.
