... without regulations people *will* sell you spoiled food ...
That's true, without a doubt, but it misses the point.

I disagree. Regulations don't change the presence of spoiled food.

She should sell her ice cream without regulations and be responsible for it. If you're going to introduce all these regulations and she follows them to the letter, the IHDA (whatever it is) should be responsible for the end product; but of course, the IHDA would never be held accountable.

In a free market, private 'regulators' develop and act as auditors who take responsibility (i.e. pay if sued) for the product after inspection. But with government intervention, you get worse products & higher costs.
