News flash - it's life, there is always a chance something bad will happen. You mitigate the very large risks, and the rest you just have to address as best you can. This is an example of how not to do it:
Snack Ban

(Cedar Rapids – KCRG) --The fear of meth contamination is one reason
behind a proposed school policy change in Mt. Pleasant.
School administrators say they want parents or students to bring only
packaged snacks or treats to share in a classroom. The reason is
homemade goodies could come in contact with residue from meth-making
operations.
School officials say there is no case they know of in which food
brought into Mt. Pleasant schools contained any meth contamination.
However, there was a scare at the middle school some years ago
involving food poisoning.
Administrators say food safety was the overriding concern...and the
meth contamination issue was just a part of it.
Mt. Pleasant superintendent John Roederer will recommend the homemade
snack ban to the school board next month. If passed, it would become
school policy next fall. Parents and students are being urged to bring
only packaged food items in the meantime.

Why not ban clothes, because they too might have come in contact with Joe Bob's rolling meth lab down the street? Get rid of all food, because even prepackaged (such as peanut butter) might contains peanuts which might cause little Billy to puff up like Kirstie Alley.
Ahhhhh, the stupidity has hurt my head. Is it too early in the morning for Tequila?

That really irrates me. Shit like this helps lead to kids getting fatter. You ban homemade, healthy-ish(probably more-so than store bought crap) snacks so now only twinkies, hostess cupcakes, and other pre-packaged, preservative, fat filled, calorie ridden junk can be brought in. I guess little timmy can't bring cupcakes for his birthday anymore, mom might have been making meth with that mixer. Screw that - parents should be outraged at this.
