Say I go to a restaurant and find a hair in my food. Are there any actual health risks?
Does it make a difference if I:
- Find it in the dish, remove it, and keep eating
- Take a bite, find it in my mouth, and remove it
- Ingest it
This was inspired by a recent news story about a certain authoritarian butthole cosplaying as a food service worker. I did try to look it up (er, search it up?), but the top hits were lengthy meandering articles, or totally off-topic stuff like foods to prevent hair loss. So naturally I gave up and opted to consult the hive mind instead.
It’s the “remove all brown m&m’s” rider of food service
honestly I think it is less about health or safety and more about the disgust people feel - it really might just be irrational and nothing more
Yeah, the ick factor is high.
