I agree that the gold plating has got out of hand.
Like it or not we are food producers and there will always have to be some level of checks on compliance with the basic legal requirements, enforced by somebody.
As I see it that can be through multi agency visits, or far better through one annual fairly benign audit run by our own industry, that is fairly easy to live with.
Just saying, as @snarling bee has done already, that we ought to be careful what we wish for, and not chuck the baby out with the bathwater.
Trading Standards & DEFRA (or RPW, etc) already do random checks to make sure we are all keeping within legislative standards. Do we need more than that?
