>Should small companies also get free pass on food safety laws? Health inspections are a PITA for restaurants too.

But if you look at how reality works, then you'll see that small companies often do not implement the proper food safety standards. This causes all sorts of problems, because if a company already does one shady thing, then doing one more isn't as much of a problem anymore.

And then they get closed down when a food inspection takes place.

Yep, that's exactly the case, but another one of these opens up somewhere else at the same time. We've had inspections like this happen for many years, but it's still happening. And these companies that don't adhere to the law could outcompete those that do by saving in some costs.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the authorities lack resources to track down all misbehaviors, but that doesn't make crime acceptable.

But it means that the laws are poorly thought out, if only some of them get caught and it gives a big advantage to those that do it.
