The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Read the full story at Grist. A new study confirms that commonsense workplace protections from extreme heat — water, shade, breaks — help save workers from being injured on the job. The finding — something labor and climate advocates have long known and pushed for in public policy — comes just as the federal government shutdown may have suspended the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s lengthy rulemaking process to create the U.S.’s first-ever nationwide heat standard for workers. Some experts now fear that the agency, which ordinarily takes about seven years on average to establish new rules, will face further delays.

“Every regulation is written in blood”
I've lived in countries that lack the food safety protections we have in the US, and I think a lot of Americans don't really understand just how frequent injuries and deaths from dangerous food are in places that lack even our own (absolutely imperfect) standards.
A second Trump administration, empowered by the Supreme Court's strike-down of Chevron, would absolutely translate into "even worse American food safety standards."
The GOP hates the regulatory state, and that includes the regulators that try to keep chicken from killing you.
