Answer

Why are small food plants in Mallorca seen as vulnerable to food fraud?

Smaller plants and intermediaries can create gaps in traceability, especially when goods change hands quickly or are stored temporarily. That makes it easier for problematic products to be re-labeled or moved without a clear paper trail. Better documentation and random checks are often needed to close those gaps.
