[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food service rules are ultra-conservative because of liability concerns, the risk that you’re feeding immunocompromised people, and the fact that if you’re making a metric ton of food every day the chances of a .01% event are much higher than if you’re making one meal.[/quote]

Also, add in the fact that you are talking about ultra-processed foods like mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.

I have no idea how some of you people step out of the house each morning, you're so cautious.  [/quote]

Correct. In my state you cannot even sell cookies unless they were baked in a commercial kitchen. Have you ever heard of anyone getting food poisoning from cookies? Dry baked goods are probably the safest food there is, but it's just liability worries.
I have sent hot soup, hot macaroni, hot fish sticks, hot spaghetti and meatballs in the thermos. Plus cold things like hard boiled eggs. Something sitting in an insulated thermos for 4 hours is not the same as sitting in the sun at a picnic for 4 hours.

I don't know. There was just a thread about someone being cautioned about eating a cookie. Probably because cookies are one of the most dangerful foods on the planet. [/quote]
