> it's quite rare to die of food poisoning.
I’d go so far as to say it’s virtually unheard of for healthy adults to die of food poisoning from cooked food going bad*. It’s mostly children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised that are at risk. The fast majority of microbes that cause food born illness are really common in our environments and we’ve built up plenty of immunity.
* fecal contamination and other toxins like paralytic shellfish poisoning are another matter
