In Germany actual foot safety you get at the store down the street is at higher QA than the law requires. Our supermarkets often do toxicity tests with higher standards than the law requires and don’t simply trust the manufacturer of a product.
If you have direct to consumer sales you don’t have an intermediary doing QA.
On the other hand a US supermarket might not have strong QA.
But experience shows that smaller (or less sophisticated/mature) businesses don’t handle (or even know about) all the regulations as well as large ones. De jure you are right but de facto you are not.

If you’re claiming de facto, I would like to see some evidence :-P
It is more difficult to come up with evidence than I expected but at least I found this

I believe in this instance he was reasoning alethically. De facto you are not necessarily correct.
