I'd like to see some statistics to back up this assertion.

  I must admit I don't have any comprehensive stats to hand, even the WHO have only recently compiled worldwide occurrence stats but not correlation / causation stats. However from a programming paradigm, which would you prefer? Bugs cleaned up only because "someone" reported them, or because you use CI and can fix the problem at source, can measure testing coverage, etc, etc. I think most programmers agree that the proactive systemic testing system is better than ad hoc.

    So is that proactive systemic testing put in place because the FDA requires it, or because the food processing facility fears an outbreak that would bankrupt the company? There is no FDA for bugs in software companies, which is far less consequential, yet most software companies invest a fairly reasonable amount of engineering time into quality control. So this begs the questions, how much good does the FDA really do?
