You're good to go. I've used/received the same stuff before. I was sceptical of it as well especially when I found that the carrier oil was clear. I ran 12ml through a filter just to be sure before transferring to the vial. And I say 12ml because the pouches are sold as 5ml but I pulled 6ml from every one I got. I filtered mine but a friend of mine didn't, and he still alive. So the choice is yours.
