Default Samiam, agree with your post but,

staph food poisoning (the kind usually associated with leaving the tuna salad with mayonnaise out too long) is caused by a toxin formed by the bacteria and the symptoms can occur within 30 minutes. It is not subtle. But most things people label as food poisoning are not and most commercial kitchens are safer than most homes with respect to food handling practices.
