Key quote in there is that before the FDA is even allowed to ask for a recall they have to prove a DNA match between whatever caused food poisoning and the specific bag of whatever.
If the FDA has extremely rigid chain of custody rules for what samples/test they're allowed to talk about in public and you had a billion dollars riding in them only reporting the best samples it might not be that hard to fuck with that chain of custody and disqualify anything you knew about.
