I hate this argument - it doesn't actually "remove choice" in any form at all, and to claim this is purely sensationalism.
The real issue is how much responsibility should be placed on the consumer, or on the company/labeling - it certainly appears that this firmly places all responsibility on the consumer, which is NOT the same as limiting choice. Be upset because the government is kowtowing to corporate concerns to save a buck, but don't make up nonsense 'choice' issues.
It's like the walrus complaining about the stolen bucket . . .
