How many Bernie Madoffs are there out there? You can be sure that there is more than one.
Same with Stewart Parnell of the Peanut Corporation of America who allowed, it is alleged, product into sales he knew had tested positive for Salmonella. Do we really think that he is the only one in the global food processing system that is capable of doing that? PEANUTS
The FDA has less people today to inspect more facilities than ever. It seems they rely on systems to cast a net as wide as possible in hope of stopping problems?
Why Are Importers & FDA in an Adversarial Relationship?
Why can't entry's be on line to stream line dialog between the compliance or investigative officer and the importer and broker? Had this been possible, 2 Investigators would not have had to witness the destruction of perfectly good tuna from Spain (all for 4 cases!) instead of inspecting food producing facilities. The goods were rejected for a clear misunderstanding that an importer should have been able to resolve had there been a direct dialog.
Invisible entries. Archaic programs. Antagonistic relations.
The result... The food chain remains at risk.
