Read the article in the link. This should tell you where it (the mustard) likely comes from.
I was told to make sure and ask for the "Lot Number Certificate" for any grass seed you might buy. This will tell you which weed seeds may be present, and the % (by weight) of each type of weed that may be present.
Some weeds you may already have (Thistle, etc.) so it may not matter that much. However, you would NOT want to purchase any grass seed or alfalfa seed that has ANY % of White Cockle (or any other NOXIOUS weed seed) in it.
