You’re not supposed to defrost meats in warm water due to harmful bacteria growth, you’re not supposed to leave food at room temperature for long without being refrigerated because of harmful growth but, when you go to a buffet, food can sit out for hours under heat lamps and be fine?

Also it should be noted, most health regulation not only requires you keep buffet food in a certain temperature range, But they also don’t let you take food “exposed to the public” back into the kitchen. Nor do they allow you to have food in display for longer than a set time (even in a good range) – at least that’s the rules we have in Canada.
