Extremely likely under any administration that this would still have been a voluntary recall. Voluntary recalls aren't really optional as they will quickly turn into legal proceedings and a court ordered (mandatory) recall. It substaintially reduces the company's legal risk and monetary risk to comply with a voluntary recall. There's a lot more nuance but just from the wikipedia for the way different types of FDA recall strategies work:

The manufacturers or distributors of the product carry out most recalls of products regulated by FDA voluntarily. In some instances, a company discovers that one of its products is defective and recalls it entirely on its own. In others, FDA informs a company of findings that one of its products is defective and suggests or requests a recall. Usually, the company will comply.

If the firm does not recall the product, then FDA can seek legal action under the FD&C Act. These include seizure of available product, and/or injunction of the firm, including a court request for recall of the product.

The threat of being made to recall them is one of the safeguards here the second the company is told by their lawyers they will lose a "voluntary recall" becomes inevitable. These companies will only get more... entrepeneurial about food safety the more the threats are taken away and the big one was always food testing.
