Of course major institutions will always face these sorta problems.
However your comment seems to assume the FDA self-corrected. They faced a lot of external criticism and eventually partially capitulated. Even then they just restricted its listed audience.

Except that it was external pressure that forced changes, not internal processes. The congressional report found that the FDA violated their own processes. Thankfully we still have a fairly transparent government and the incident was made public.
Though congress seems to have just given them a slap in the wrist. No officials were fired AFAICT, why wouldn't other FDA officials do the same in the future? Based on the parent article it might still be happening.
