Happy to live in a country with very strong food control. Yes we have the alternative labels yet it must be at least as good as the original.

They only need to be as good as the minimum standard for the category they're sold in. If you have a "good" bin and a "bad" bin, and the good bin easily exceeds the minimum requirements while the bad bin just barely meets them, that's fine, too. Or the good bin can be sold as class I, while the bad bin needs to be labeled as class II. Of course those categories usually aren't about safety-relevant aspects of quality, but things like weight or shape or appearance.
I want more good regulations, and less bad regulations, so I am not necessarily against anything you said here.
