regulators have the power to set the tone that encourages industry to do the right thing
if the public makes their voice heard, legislators will act

Mixed on this without seeing the documentary and what nuance it approaches the situation with.
Perfect decontamination of all food at all steps of the farm to store to your plate process is functionally impossible so there's always unfortunately going to be someone who gets unlucky and catches something. If the documentary can point out specific ways that the US regulatory system can be doing better than I'd agree with them. But I'm also hesitant to just assume it'd be good too given the history of fear mongering around food supplies that many "health nut" groups do.
Speaking from what I've heard of scandals past, a lot of this boils down to sanitizing industrial processing equipment regularly, taking precautions as you move between different types of food (ie, moving from raw meat to vegetables and back again), and giving the workers proper safety equipment so they don't create the plane that was full of poop incidents.
Because all of this costs time and money, which cuts into profits, industrial engineers cut corners and end up with more incidents than a more prudent administration would allow.
US has some of the worst regulations in the world. Why would food be any different?
