Stealing food is theft - it may be petty theft but it's still theft. If you report it to HR and nothing is done then you can sue the company for a hostile work environment.
If you use laxatives, excessive spice, whatever and injure a coworker then you can be fired with cause and possibly be civilly or criminally liable if the damages are significant enough.
Why? I could just say that "wow, my friend gave me some spicy peppers because I like spicy food, but this is way overkill. I'll have to go get takeaway."
Not tasting food before eating it is not a crime.
Good luck
Filing a lawsuit over a sandwich (or threatening someone, as OP mentions) is a comical overreaction anyway. There are a dozen simpler ways to solve the problem.
