Fwiw - I would do the same as Bread in the position he found himself in.
My thinking - I've got a good contract for 12 months - could take the money and turn a blind eye - others would - but it would trouble me.
Tell the management the truth - not as though they don't know what it is anyway - and expect to be shown the door (in fact that's very much how my career in local government ended some years back).
Do I blow the whistle - no.
Why not - the practice at the factory is bad but others must see it - the council must have periodic inspections - and what they have been doing is nothing new - yet they still sell their pies and non of the public have reported them - so, bad practice, yes - serious risk to health, no.
My CV would show I'd done a stint at the factory but left early. If asked I would say I didn't agree with what was going on and left by 'mutual agreement' before the end of my contract with them. I'm sure the industry would have a fair idea of how their competitors worked - and by not taking the money for a full year would show I valued by integrity rather than the money.

My goodness!
There are 4 and 3 year olds who go to bed better than this 43 year old.
I think someone needs to get the Janet and John books out.
He'll be up all night otherwise.

Consultancy is a funny business. I've done work for organisations where the Board are basically seeking justification for what they already do - change isn't always welcome, especially where there's cost involved. I had to recommend that a certain company didn't put the majority shareholder's son in charge (although they'd been succession planning for 4 years) and that went down like a lead balloon and split the Board. But it was the right thing to do as the son wasn't up to it and didn't really want the job anyway. That on top of an asset replacement programme that was only affordable if they streamlined a bunch of processes to reduce overstock in materials where they had tons of dosh tied up.
Sometimes the customer doesn't want to make the changes needed to increase efficiency and profitability but at the end of the day it's their business and their decision and as a supplier to that business you have to respect that.
Customer is always right and all that.
I like pies if I make them myself from scratch, but they're not the first thing that usually springs to mind when I'm cooking. Bought pies like Holland's or Greenhalgh's tend to be a bit of a disappointment although I used to like Carr's pasties even though they are small - I guess soft thin pastry is a guilty pleasure.
