Food safety regulations try to prevent one-in-a-million health risks.

If you’re prepping for yourself and there’s a one-in-a-million chance of getting food poisoning, you could go your entire life and never make yourself ill.

If you’re a restaurant chain and serve a million people a day with the same lax food safety protocols, you’ll kill a customer a day.
