The FDA should have utilized a utilitarian framework as well. Because these facilities were not checked on a regular basis, the results did not maximize the good. The FDA serves the public interest and uses its resources as the public’s representative to ensure food safety. The FDA practices of irregular and ineffective monitoring of PCA led again to the ends not justifying the means. Much of the resulting blame has been put on the FDA because this is not the first time something like this has happened and further food safety issues continued to occur after this particular crisis. This had negative effects on the FDA and the current administration has indicated that change will occur so that higher standards will preclude a similar disastrous result.
