Some concern was expressed that an olive oil dip might engender
botulism. I think not. Olive oil is a remarkable preservative; in
addition the chiles would make it too acid for most microorganisms to
live in.

Look at the diplays of magnificently arranged olives and peppers in
those huge antipasto jars in Italian delis...the ones that cost the moon
and then some.  They would not be marketing them, importing them, if
they were life-threatening.
