About 10 years ago I worked for a company that wrote software for restaurants’ food safety inspectors in South Dakota… All 3 of them… 3 people to inspect every restaurant in the entire state. They were over 5 years behind on some of the inspections.
If that’s how food safety was prioritized back then, just think what it must be like today.
Your experience is not universal, but it is also not unique. South Dakota has one of the lowest population densities in America and I think you’ll find if you look around that most places similar to it have similar experiences with food safety inspections, in restaurants and in manufacturing, worldwide.
