That's not ironic, that is the expected result.  Health regulations are
designed to prevent identified kitchen hazards by stressing proper practices
to avoid those hazards.  Loosening the regulations allows people to ignore
both the hazards and the proper practices thereby increasing the probability
of failure.  The increased failure due to improper handling is documented by
the statistics.
