The post started off with a seemingly reasonable yet obviously naïve example of flaws in the process, then goes on a rant where it reframes every tweet by the FDA in a gross mischaracterization.

The funniest thing here is that there would be very few people in the world that would count any international trade as a part of the "free market". So any restriction placed by the US government on importing any products would implicitly not have any effect on the "free market" that most people refer to, and most people that would drool over the "free market" would also be the same people to decry any movement towards globalism.

But even then, why wouldn't these European manufacturer just print a second set of labels for selling their product to the US, if it's just a "labeling requirement"? Sounds like a very fishy claim.
