They do spot checks now, sometimes. And they do regular checks on large containers. Do you think those containers are shipped to them? Who do you think is paying for those inspections now? How do you think this is any different for inspections for lettuce or other produce?

Absolutely, large containers are easier to check. And yes, it would be logistically impossible to check every batch that was canned and sold like these were. But regular, unannounced spot checks of the canned product would mean that every time you adulterated the product would be a risk to be caught, and you can guarantee that if every can they bought in this investigation was adulterated that it wasn't a one-off thing.
