With vegetables they are part of a regulated legal industry that has the ability to perform nation-wide awareness initiatives & recalls if there is some form of contamination. And events like that also represents a significant financial loss to the producers, which itself acts as a form of accountability above & beyond regulatory penalties that might apply.
