Still, I'd like to have some effective say in how my food and medication is QC'ed rather than trusting the lawyered-up for-profit commercial system to sort it out via body count after the fact, as in the days before the FDA.

I work in the food industry, (manufacturing). When the FDA schedules an inspection, we sweat it. Then, there are the inspection companies that customers hire to audit our plant. Some are fairly tight, some just seem to come and go unnoticed by most on the factory floor. Why? I don't know. But, it does seem a bit inconsistent.

In theory, an inspector hired by the customer has a vested interest in doing a thorough job. If a problem escapes them and causes lawsuits or whatever, they lose future contracts. But, being too anal, causing delays and additional costs can also become an issue.

So, I'd have to agree with you. The impartial auditor, who has nothing to lose from citing a plant for discrepancies is more favorable. However, I would say the more, the merrier. FDA inspections AND private audits.
