When businesses run their own inspection
mercredi 24 février 2021 à 01:00The "new idea" of letting pork processing plants do their own inspections was tried experimentally under Obama. In 2014-2017, the plants which did this had twice as many violations as other plants.
Does this surprise you? It does not surprise me. In general, the reason businesses lobby to run their own inspection is so that they can do a quick and sloppy job of it, and sell things they should have discarded. The result can spread disease.
In general, the reason why government agencies accept these proposals from business is that they are trying to serve business rather than serve the public. A good government would teach its officials to laugh those lobbyists out of the office.
The US should simply cancel this bad policy.
