Whether or not he was actually working at the warehouse he has some type of responsibility in maintaining its sanitation and abiding by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which he failed to do himself as well as his "dependable subordinates" (dynamic business law, 166). Additionally, after receiving a warning he continuously ignored illegal protocols in the warehouse that he knew could potentially affect a consumer’s health so he most certainly should be held responsible. He may not have intended to cause harm directly to anyone but he is more than aware that rodent contaminated food that has been ruled toxic by the FFDCA could potentially hurt a consumer, therefore he should be convicted though a light charge should be given to him.
