    "Lawmakers said the food industry's private inspection system failed to catch filthy conditions because the company itself hired the inspectors."

    "There is an obvious and inherent conflict of interest when an auditor works for the same supplier it is evaluating."

      Their own private inspection. During my years of 16 to 28 every food store that I worked with was always in fear of the inspector. That inspector could make or break you. When I went back in to the food chain work I kept wondering where the inspectors had disappeared to. The store chain that I work for here recently is all of a sudden worried about bent cans. They use to look at me as if I was stupid for taking the bent cans off the shelf. If I made a statement that the state inspector could show up and fine them, they would laugh about it. You can't expect any company to police itself.
