I really think that our risks in eating have two components; 1. Ingredient risk = Do we actually know what is in the food? 2. Contamination risk = Were there other items used in the preparation other than the ingredients? Unfortunately, even when we break out the risks, we still have to double check the ingredient risk every time. All that we know is that past indications of what foods were okay may be an indication of future food safety, but they certainly are no guarantee. Better luck next time - it is great that you shared this experience! This is a great post. I really think that our risks in eating have two components;
