This is textbook unintended consequences of government action.
If there were a market for this then the products would already exist.
By moving beyond an ingredient disclosure to the elimination of all possible sources of contamination the incentives are changed and this is the result. Rather than incurring the cost required by the law businesses found a different solution.
As a result the people the law tried to help are now harmed. The blame here doesn't rest with the businesses but with the lawmakes who drafted this unnecessary nonsense.
