And if not shut them down immediately and you will see improvement. The cause was probably profit was increased by not using money to make sure the food was safe before it went out the door. It is time to quit treating business like a god and start expecting responsibility from them. It crap like this that makes me think capitalism is not the best system as it will do anything to increase profits even if it kills people.
