@gerrymcgovern VERY weird that they wouldn't simply use regular ChatGPT for this. This is the response I got:
"In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets regulations to ensure the safety and sanitation of food served to the public. Serving food that has been contaminated by rodents (or any pests) would violate these regulations. The FDA's Food Code provides comprehensive guidelines that restaurants must follow to avoid such contamination and ensure food safety. This includes ensuring that food is stored in a manner that protects it from pests and disposing of any food that becomes contaminated.
Additionally, state and local health departments enforce these guidelines and may have additional, more specific regulations. Serving food that has been contaminated by rats or other pests could lead to severe penalties, including fines, closure of the establishment, and legal action.
It's crucial for restaurant owners to adhere to these regulations to ensure the safety of their customers and the integrity of their business. If contamination is discovered, the affected food must be discarded immediately, and the source of contamination must be addressed to prevent future incidents.
For the most accurate and specific legal advice, it's always best to consult with a legal professional or local health department officials familiar with the food service regulations in your particular area."
