Progressives generally believed government should not interfere with big business?
Not true. Recall that the Sherman Anti Trust act restricted big businesses from forming monopolies.

Furthermore, legislation was being passed that required standards in proper handling of food. In doing so, the government was telling businesses that their products must be made under proper conditions or they will be shut down.
