What happens when products go wrong? Corporations have regulations and ethic codes that are written for management and employees to follow. Their Mission Statement is another guideline of the corporation reason for existence, its core purpose is to assist all to understand what the company’s values are and where they stand. Thus, employees understand what is expected of them in protecting the company and consumers. Now, with so much at stake John Healy, Vice President for production, needs to be positive that the product they manufacture was not contaminated. The repercussions of admitting that the company was in the wrong could be devastating to the business. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the regulation and safety standards for food supply in the United States. Typically, recalls are voluntary and initiated by the manufacturers and distributors. If FDA or FSIS requests that a product is recalled, the responsibility to act falls on the company which manufactures the product. (White-Cason, 2013) Because recalls are voluntary, it gives a company time to research the incident and product before …show more content…

They have lawyers that facilitate legal actions to protect the company again wrongful or harmful actions. A legal case against the farmer who supplied the contaminated food may be in their future.

  • Food Inc Rhetorical Analysis

    provides several examples of logos, the appeal to logic. Using facts and statistics, such as the decline in FDA inspections from 50,000 in 1974 to only 9.164 in 2006, and how the market is heavily dominated by the top four beef packing companies controlling over 80% of the market today, where the top five companies only controlled approximately 25% of the market in the 1970’s, the documentary provides reliable data to strengthen its logical appeal. Food Inc. is a persuasive documentary that undoubtedly illustrates the corruption within the food industry that has been deliberately hidden from the American consumer. While this documentary does an excellent job of persuading their views and opinions using rhetorical structure with strong representations of ethos, pathos, and logos, it offers few ways to logically overcome the challenges imposed by the food industry. Consumers are urged to purchase locally grown meat and produce though this alone is not an end all to the corruption within the food

    The fast food industry also hurts environments around farms in general. It has created an unsustainable cycle that farmers cannot escape. In order to feed themselves and their family, farmers play it safe and buy more fertilizer than needed. When the farmers do not use all of it, they must dispose of it, because that fertilizer will not be as effective next year, so they dump the fertilizer in the areas surrounding their farms. But what this causes is too much nitrogen in the environment because too much nitrogen can kill plants and throw the nitrogen cycle out of balance, in turn hurting the environment.

    When buying food, when do you second guess purchasing it because you don’t know where it came from, how much it costed to be manufactured, or if it has been dyed or chemically treated? Consumers of food are quite oblivious to what is done to the food they purchase and eat. In Harvey Blatt’s, America's Food:What You Don't Know About What You Eat, he states, “We don't think much about how food gets to our tables, or what had to happen to fill our supermarket's produce section with perfectly round red tomatoes and its meat counter with slabs of beautifully marbled steak” (Blatt). He also goes to say, “We don't realize that the meat in one fast-food hamburger may come from a thousand different cattle raised in five different countries. In fact,

    Although Whole Foods has already apologized and pulled the product off their shelves, they should do more to satisfy those consumers who voiced out that they needed these pre-peeled oranges due to their disability. They could produce a few pre-peeled oranges and then use the discarded orange peels as fertilizers, so as to minimize the impact on the environment. Also, Whole Foods should prevent such an incident from happening again, not only for oranges, but also for other fruit and even other products. They should evaluate how they can minimize food packaging and do thorough marketing research before conducting “experiments” to test their hypothesis of what the consumers really need and want. One could argue that fundamentally society is to blame as Whole Foods was only trying to satisfy consumers’ needs to make more profit – which is any corporation’s end-goal.
