Then no, because I try to live my life without a record of manslaughter. If you're asking what I WOULD do, I'd use a poison detection kit. A series of tests for common components of poison.
Scientifically speaking. If you're really paranoid that something might contain poison, you could always feed it to an animal. It's highly unethical, mind you, but it's an option.
In that case, you would want more advanced equipment. A gas chromatograph or mass spectrometer, for instance. And if you don't know precisely what compound you're looking for to begin with, it could take a whole slew of testing and equipment to suss it out.
Yes, but new stuff pops up all the time! If people can conjure up an entire renovated kitchen, then one itty bitty spectrophotometer can't be too much to ask for.

If the potential poisoner is the one handing me the food, then yes.

Could you detect other substances too or would you need different equipment.
no subject
That really depends on what those other substances are.
