Comment on I keep salt and sugar in identical bottles. A mistake was bound to happen, and it just did.

A clear jar of what is assumed vinegar could be bleach, and those tiny mix ups could be deadly.

I don’t think anybody keeps cleaning agents and food ingredients in the same place, I definitely don’t, don’t know anybody who does, so it’s logical to assume it should be the same in restaurants

Restaurants absolutely shouldn’t.
However, people suck and it happens, probably more often than you would want.

Vinegar can be a very effective cleaning agent though, it’s not just used for food.
maniel@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
It’s still a different vinegar, that shouldn’t be kept with food

Totally agree on that point. I took it more to mean it could be fatal if someone went to refill a jar of vinegar with bleach (or vice versa) since mixing the two creates chlorine gas which can be fatal.
