If you were selling hay, it would have to be certified pest-free. Amazing how those hay farmers manage to stay in business, eh? Snark aside, point taken. Potency is not something I care that much about in terms of regulation; other things, like pests and mold and chemical residue, have no place in medicine. Rather than have every new jar assayed (adding to the cost), maybe it would be enough to have regular, unannounced inspections for both sanitary conditions and also to test the medicine for impurities and poisons. There's probably other less-intrusive ways to check compliance as well that might be friendlier to the bottom line and still protect consumers.
