So your point is that food safety was already abysmal in the USA and, somehow, that means the fact that it is in the news now is less important?
Well, the train safety is abysmal too, along with the environmental protections. I think that’s what the OP was getting at.
I think the OP meant “yes, this is bad but it’s not newly bad, it has always been really bad you are now just hearing about it more…”
IMO, OP was basically defending the current regime on this

Because of the regulations that put liability on them…
If there were no teeth behind them, companies wouldn’t voluntarily recall things.
the teeth are the potential lawsuits coming up… hurting/killing people is still illegal, for now
