Technically it would. At that time, reputation means power. If they would find the rat in one of the foods that the duchess is selling, they might lock the entire store down and do a complete examination. It would be embarrassing if the people would find out about the incident and spread rumors about it. With that, once her reputation is ruined, people would have a hard time in trusting her.
