Why is it that people who demand "peer reviewed science" never seem to
proffer it first?

Anyway anybody even remotely involved with academics knows that the peer
review system is more about building your career than it is about
scientific validity. When it comes to "peer reviewed science" about food
safety the stench of corruption is overwhelming, and one wonders if you can
possibly be even remotely serious. There's too much money at stake for us
to have real food safety.
