>we have a working meat inspection program
????
The topic of discussion is how a meat plant was allowed to operate despite egregiously failing not just safety rules and procedures but just plain common sense.
You consider that working?

If your definition of “first world country” is no company ever cuts corners, well, name one. It’s probably just Singapore.
I would remind you that these "failures" were not some black swan level of event that we can't foresee, it was plain and direct negligence.
The rotten mean was literally, and I mean quite literally, piling up.
You are being EXTREMELY outright dishonest in your perspectives here. I don't say this lightly, there is no possibility of reconciling your statements and the facts of the case.

The UK had mad cow disease, Italy continues to deal with diluted and falsified olive oil, the EU has had repeated horse meat scandals. Most recently Japan had a health food supplement scandal in which many people died.
I don't consider letting rotten meat pileup an example of a working inspection process, which is what I specifically responded to, first world or not.
Our food safety systems work and can be trusted and when a failure happens we talk about it, it makes the news, and changes happen. I really believe that.
