You are the internet equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling “lalalalala” when someone proves you wrong

If the distributor has no history of issues, has current safety certifications and a good rating from government agencies; how is the restaurant expected to be more diligent in choosing?

You’re still answering? Look I can be a bitch, too ☺️

Then I guess you can’t take your kids to any restaurants anymore because you can’t reasonably expect any restaurant to be testing their food for drug contamination. In fact, you’re going to have to fully grow your own crops and raise your own animals because it’s all the same government agency making sure your groceries and restaurant food aren’t being laced with drugs.

OK Karen. “I want to completely destroy the livelihood of multiple people for something they had pretty much no control over”. Go smoke a doobie and chill out

Which was added while making it, and not by anyone related to the restaurant itself. It’s a failure of the ice cream distributor and the FDA who clearly allowed this ice cream maker to improperly store personal food items and food items to be distributed in the same place. What reasonable expectation would a restauranteur have to check the product they receive for drug contamination, especially since they do not expect the food to have any sort of drugs in it to begin with and they choose distributors based on the information and grading the government gives the distributor? I would expect them to check and make sure the food isn’t out-of-date or spoiled, not for them to test it for drugs. If it didn’t look, smell or taste different enough for people to think the ice cream was “off” in any way, there is 0 way for the ice cream shop to expect this sort of situation happening.

The health department will deal with the restaurant, they will have an investigation and will determine if the owner of the restaurant has any expectation to have known about the distributor lacing their product. Single restaurants can’t go and inspect their distributor’s facilities, there is separate FDA oversight, so there generally is no reasonable expectation of a restaurant having oversight of the way a distributor is making their products. Restaurant owners choose distributors based on publicly available health and safety department information and sometimes because they have a good relationship with a rep from the company. it is a failing of governmental oversight that this distributor was able to mix a batch of personal-use laced ice cream in with ice cream set to be sent out, not on the restaurant owner who is using information from the government to make a determination if a distributor is trustworthy.

You’re either trolling at this point or you just have absolutely no idea how restaurant food distribution works

That is what your take is sounding like, genius

So you expect an ice cream shop to have a drug testing lab and regularly test their product for drugs? That makes no sense.

Sounds like another strike is needed…

Maybe for you, but for those of us who the republicans are trying to legislate either back into the closet or out of existence completely, this is very important to securing our right to change our gender markers, the shooting down of the second will keep us safe from forcible outing and protect both trans and cus women from being arrested for “using the wrong bathroom”, and the third will keep trans folks fleeing from states where they are in danger from being hunted down and arrested. We can also be concerned about more than one thing at a time.

It’s a cafe, I used to work there and it’s a super fun place. The whole Pickwick’s brand in Portsmouth is a good time if you like historical fiction and living history.
