Serious question, are the wasps as likely to get diarrhea eating that as I think they are, and will the hive reject them at the entrance if they're doing the insect equivalent of shitting their pants the way hives do with drunks?

I'm pretty sure [spicy chemical I can't spell] is toxic to insects. I'd double check but I can't spell it at the moment
Capsaicin?
I think "spicy" is referring to the wasps.

Ostry posmak 😂
Sweet Jesus
Spicy Jesus
pest toast, please ignore
That ... that worked.
If white people can't handle heat then explain this spicy polish pastry
the easy explanation is that Polish people aren't counted as white by white people
Them and the Irish can wish all they want, but they will never be white!

Can't say I'd be delighted about this, but they'll very quickly leave when the food's disturbed and wasps - like bees - don't leave behind diseases or eggs. The same cannot be said for flies - if those were flies I wouldn't touch anything in the shop.
My experience with wasps are different. They'll fucking attack you it you're anywhere near their food.
Africanised bees will be like that, but we don't really have them in europe as far as I know.
Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.
You'll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.
You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.

You don't have to be online to see the best reviews.
Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the "Really, America?" shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
But it's not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.
Don't watch videos of raw food material transportation like grain or sugar.
A bit of shit on our food gives us some needed trace elements.
Enjoy!
Most of those things get baked out because of the high temperatures.
These ones after baking, not so much.
I prefer desease free wasp food over pigeon and rat shit in my cooked food.
I guess in the end I eat both. I try to buy locally whenever possible, but I guess sugar is hard to source locally.

Cooking is good. I wash my vegetables. And my meat for that matter, although that's strangely not recommended.
It's nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.
This is not true. We have stores with flies. I don't go to those stores.
As for wasps, I understand there are legal restrictions here. Boy, that is pretty strange. For wasps. Wasps do just fine without our help.
Tell me your secret on how to get these things out of a building, it's already freaking hard in a house where the door doesn't open every 5 minutes.
Flies or wasps are also a completely different thing. The worst/only thing that can happen with wasps is that one doesn't move away when you take a bite and stings you.
Edit: yes I know mosquito nets etc will help against flies, but that generally doesn't help in a store (depending on the type of door even impossible). Plus once they open insects like to get in with the people at the same time and even if nothing opens they tend to find a way in a lot of buildings.
Well, that's the nice thing about civilization. We get to divide up labor into specialties. I don't own a bakery, so I don't have the secret you've inquired about. I get to choose which places I shop, and I make sure its places without bugs. If I have a secret at all, its the power of the purse.
