The story is well written and researched on a topic of importance to health via the international food supply. Having heard an FDA inspector vent about this problem, the story seems particularly important.

Good basic reporting with plenty of local research. There are probably NGO sources the PI could have used to broaden the information but there's nothing wrong with taking it as far as they did.
With the industrialized food chain as convoluted as it is, we are now beginning to see a complete return to the times of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle." This is fitting, as it is also the time of consolidating monopolies and politically connected robber barons.
