How did France manage to have subsidized and/or price controlled bread without degrading the quality?

When the maximum was first applied, the price of bread was controlled down, there were food riots, so it would seem that they did degrade the quality.

However, when the price of bread was controlled up, rather than controlled down, that did not affect the quality, and arguably improved it.
