"In the pipeline" as in "the stuff that they still don't sell." They'll get better, eventually. Until then, they lobby for the laws like:

Commonly referred to as the “Monsanto Protection Act” where "even if a court were to determine that a particular product might be harmful to human beings or harmful to the environment, the Department of Agriculture could not stop the production of that product once it is in the ground."
