"The burden is on the company to make sure they are complying with any local, state and federal regulations that apply to food manufacturing. Naturally, that's not reassuring to the public. But we don't have people driving up and down roads looking for places like this."

Essentially, food inspection has suffered after decades of small government and privatization mania. Only 42 state inspectors are available to monitor 17,000 food manufacturers in the state.)
