adulterators
Those who contaminate
Adulterators are people or entities that adulterate—that is, debase or contaminate something by adding inferior or impure substances.
The term appears most often in contexts of food safety and regulation: Adulterators of milk have been known to add water, starch, or worse.
Historical accounts of industrial-era commerce frequently mention adulterators of spices, medicines, and other goods sold by weight or volume.
