#3“so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning”
That seems odd. I would expect it to be potentially dangerous from extreme irritation, but I wouldn't think that was "poisoning". An amount required to be "poison" would be inedible.
Perhaps he's speaking loosely, or the definition of "poison" used by regulators is different from what I expected.

Fatality is not necessary to be a poison.

Any chemical in the wrong dosis is potentially hazardous to your health.
There was the "One chip challenge" some time ago where the reaction to the chip caused the death of a child with an existing heart condition.

#10You know who likes spicy things? Americans! Last time I was there I had a hard time finding a ramen that wasn't spicy. I mean, I like peppers and pepper sauce, but over there is ridiculous. By the way, how the heck did jalapeños made their way all the way to Alaska? Every single food had jalapeños on it; pizza, burger, breakfast burrito... At some point I had to ask them to remove jalapeños from my food cause it was burning my back end when going to the bathroom (another thing I learned is real, I thought that was a joke).
