Verbatim doesn’t have the reputation to sell premium TY, rather the contrary. 
Under the Verbatim brand, one is better off buying the MCC stuff (MCC 004, MCC 03RG20, MCC 02RG20…). These are mostly peace-of-mind, even though the odd lesser “batch” is always a possibility.
If you insist on TY, you’d better get them unbranded from a reputable, peace-of-mind dealer like Rima in the US and SVP in Europe. But anyway, IMO of course, MCC 004 is a better bet than any 16X TY, whatever the source.
There is NOTHING that is 100% guaranteed to be safe in the modern economy, even less when we pay such ridiculous prices for DVD+/-Rs…
