    The one thing they all missed out, what if one of the home workers is a business rival or even a crazy person and sabotages the product, how can she oversee the quality control if people are mixing and packaging the product at home and not a controlled environment, this could lead to a huge lawsuit. Not a risk I'd take.

    Wow! A business where quality control is totally improbable for the product! She's gonna send some ingredients to people (among whom are convincts!) AND she's adamant nothing will go wrong. Doesn't look like she understands why production of chemical substances is concetrated in highly monitored plants currently. I wonder why none of the dragons even questioned that crucial matter. I don't even believe it is LEGAL for her to "outsource to homes" the production of stuff that may become a health hazard when unmonitored.

What law specifically does it break? 5) What specific ingredient are you claiming is a health hazard if used in a kitchen "unmonitored"?
