However, since this question is asking for a more comprehensive answer, we need not just look at the firms’ organizational controls but we should look at other agencies and or auditing firms as well.

In general, repeated exposures to antibiotics (Saari et al., 2015; Schwartz et al., 2016; Scott et al., 2016) or broad-spectrum antibiotics (Bailey et al., 2014), in particular macrolides (Saari et al., 2015), were found to be associated with an increase in BMI.
