bacteria multiply exponentially, slowed down by the fridge it would take probably 3 or 4 days for fresh meat uncovered to get enough bacteria to make you ill, compared with 4 hours if it's ambient.
It's all about controlling temperature at every stage in the process. I can get very boring on this subject, i've been thinking about becoming an EHO

am i right in my second assumption: that being vegetarian means it is less likely to be an issue than for meat eaters?

or don't probe check large joints to ensure a core temperature high enough to kill anything.
Some of the worst bacteria is in pasta and rices and breads and things, but the way they are prepared kills it all off (unless you're unlucky to gt one of the spore forming bugs in your rice, but we haven't had a vase of that in this country for about 15 years).

you should totally do the EHO thing.
i have heard that rice is responsible for some of the worst cases of food poisoning. it seems so innocuous.

i can get very dull on the whole subject, but basically, Rice is one that harbours spore forming bacteria, that is also able to be distributed through the skin. So you get it by eating re-heated rice, then you touch stuff an other people get it, lick their fingers or whatever, and as it soon as it hits colon, BOOM!!! you're fucked.

supply chain is the most important thing, a case where Heston Blumenthals restaurant gave around 300 people food poisoning, including i tkink one kid that nearly died, was traced all the way back to the butcher that was supplying his meat, to one member of staff that had gone to work with the shits.
