The FDA can only do what they are authorized to do and funded to do. You want more inspections then give the FDA more funding = pay more taxes.
Proposed 2014 FDA Budget
FDA budget includes increase for food safety, inspections of Chinese imports
Strapped by FSMA, FDA seeks authority for new user fees in budget request
The US Food and Drug Administration has requested a $4.7 million dollar budget for fiscal year 2014, an increase of $821 million, or 21%, over FY 2012. The biggest chunk of that increase is due to the Food Safety Modernization Act and almost all of that would be borne by new user fees.
new user fees = higher retail prices
