-How could medical and contact info be used against a 16-year-old girl?
-What services could be denied based on these records?
-How would hate groups use this information if it became public?
-What is the risk to DV and abuse survivors?

It's Simeon Brown's job to downplay concern with non-sequiturs like "no clinical impact".
It's the media's job to highlight why that's completely beside the point, not hoist in into the headline.

It also doesn't save any "red tape". It just creates an additional barrier to understanding whats in your food and means the seller can scrape your data.
Its a sh*tty solution to a non-problem that places the consumer increasingly at risk.
