Not for soup.
Anything that is sticky and might pick up effluvia is OUT!!
Mythbusters decided it has little to do with how long somethin touches the floor, and a lot more to do with what it was you dropped. Something hard and realtively non-porous, like a cracker, won't pick up much, but something moist or sticky, like a piece of bologna, will pick up a ton of stuff even from very brief contact.
... that's not food.
I check it for hair.
If it's hairless, it's probably OK.
Two seniors at Connecticut College just published their research on this very question.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
I'm pretty sure that if you're already eating bologna, you shouldn't be that concerned about what comes off your kitchen floor.Originally Posted by GottaHavePride

Bite your tongue!
Don't get me wrong. I like that stuff. But I can't think there's anything on your kitchen floor that's going to be worse for you than it.

I have to agree. Only not with the part about "I like that stuff".
Okay, so just throw it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Good to go.
What? The bologna? Microwaving it makes it good to go?
Nothing makes bologna good to go.
And that article up there surprises me...I think my rule is more if it is dry, 5 seconds in acceptable...if it is a wet or sticky food, there is no hope for it and out it goes.
Bite your tongue!
Beats bologna.
mahna mahna....do doo de di do
When all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
Hey, if I find it before the cat does, it's mine. I don't care how long it's been there.

BBQ bologna is muy bueno.
Oscar Meyer bologna sucks.
Or are you people talking about health-wise?
Now, I like grilled tongue. A lot. Don't tell me it's like unhealthy or anything.
You know what's really tasty?
Fry you up some bologna. When it cups in the middle, flip it over and poach an egg in there.

My uncle used to do that. the frying bologna part, not the egg-poaching in it.
Bologna is basically the same thing as an Italian mortadella but with a MUCH finer grind. And I think the same way about bologna that I do abou hot dogs - if you're buying from a good butcher there should be no concerns about the quality of meat going into that stuff.
