Eating tainted meat can kill you. What’s the worst corporations can do by tracking you? Better ads?!

Last I heard, the NSA was a governmental agency, not a corporation.

And governments now outsource some of their functions to bigger corporations as a loophole around human rights- mass spying and censorship, for example.

Then let's fight the actual problems - the governments - and stop going after the decoys. Let's make it illegal for government to access and use business data. That will fight the actual problem while allowing businesses to keep serving us better.
Anyone who's concerned about salmonella, hormone levels or animal welfare, can just not buy any products that could potentially contain animal products from countries with weak animal welfare or sanitary laws. The rest is just making life of farmers/shops/wholesalers harder.
Especially with these European intentions, I frankly believe that one single country's laws should be universal and no other country may implement or enforce laws that protect their consumers. The onus to protect themselves from harm must lie with the individuals and governments should not dare inconvenience anyone just to protect their citizens' interests.
