context: Rather, the FMIA merely notes the consequences of adulterated meat on the meat industry. 21 U.S.C. SS 602 (stating that adulterated meat products "result in sundry losses to ... processors of meat"). Based on the plain language of the statute, as Defendant correctly argues, the purpose of the FMIA is to protect the "health and welfare of consumers." Id. Therefore Plaintiff, as a matter of law, is not the intended direct beneficiary of Defendant's inspection duties under the FMIA.
