I quit the Libertarian Party 25 years ago for exactly the sort of pie-in-the-sky amateur anarchism that you seem to espouse.

I don't see anything wrong, from a small "l" libertarian perspective, with a reasonable regime of licensing and inspection of stores selling and producing food to the public.

Individual consumers do not have the ability or expertise to figure out whether the food they are buying is dangerous (except in extreme situations). So, the burden needs to be shifted to the producer/seller to ensure that we're not unknowingly buying ratburgers and cockroach sausage.

I can see rules for co-ops being different, so long as the co-ops do not sell food to the general public.
