High risk products should be inspected monthly not every 3 years. Private Licensed inspectors could create a new economic and financial stream. I do not think the same company or same inspector should inspect a facility more than 4 times a year, this would insure that a relationship does not develop between an inspector and the company. Preventing opportunities for graft or cheating. As well as preventing an inspector from terrorizing any single producer.
Once every 3 years is not often enough for high risk producers, unless they can provide a low risk method to production.
All production facilities need a yearly inspection at a minimum.
