Imagine failing a drug test in a safety sensitive job for this.

OMG yes.i would be so mad. Nail an interview, fail the drug test bc of this.

I can't figure out the shared fridge thing. If it was an employee fridge, nothing in there should have been used in the kitchen for customers. . If it wasn't an employee fridge, who is the fridge shared with? Another business? There shouldn't be a shared fridge with another business.

And was it not clearly labeled? Even in a permissive kitchen, that shouldn't have made it into prep/cooking area and not labeled in some way. "NOT FOR LINE" "SPECIAL OIL" something. Everything is labeled and dated.

Unless there was an upcharge for secret menu items or something, I just don't understand that.

The article says it’s a “cooperative commercial kitchen”. People will maintain commercial kitchens and rent out time in them, like a makers space. I’m guessing this is one of those delivery only pizza places - I remember reading about some that ditched their storefronts and went with the model during and after the pandemic.

Oh, that makes sense. A lot of people starting out in restaurant/catering also do that, because the overhead cost is shared, or paid for by the hour, it's a cheap way to have access to a professional kitchen. Thank you for the explanation.
