I guess a nation-wide government shut-down on Sunday church festivities shall solve this issue.
At the very least, the statists will call for mandatory licensing for potluck dinners.
Although further government intrusion into the freedoms of church goer's diets is a likely outcome to prevent the issue from happening again, where was GOD to look over his flock at a nice little Christian dinner?
In all seriousness, thanks for prompting me to seek out scripture, Buck. Here's a great site for satisfying whatever answers you have for your questions concerning God and His word: "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust" ~ Matthew 5:45 KJV In the meantime I suppose God's flock may be encouraged by this: "But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” ~ 1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV
Years ago my church used to have "mini-meals" every I never got food poisoning though - I guess God was Those were good meals. I think they stopped doing it

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
