So, drop food on kitchen floor - pick it up and eat it (without washing) good or bad?


Other than norovirus and salmonella most foodborne illness isn't infection, it's intoxication from metabolic byproducts that need time to accumulate to sufficient levels.

The biggest risk here is either a chemical contaminant from a non-foodsafe cleaning product on your floor, or a physical one like a small shard of broken glass sticking to it.
