    theres also significantly less inspectors, since msot of them were fired. only when it gets too severe, like people getting sick or dying is when they “suddenly” reported.

      Most recalls were already packaging issues (product A in B’s package, causing allergen issues) or physical debris, both of which are customer-reported.

      Most of the day-to-day monitoring of plant output is self-testing, which doesn’t change overnight. It will slip as people get lazy, but that takes time.

      I worry that cuts will actually reduce recalls. Most bacterial recalls come from the government tracing what sick people ate.
