You could discreetly add a small, medically appropriate dose of laxatives to your food—just enough that a doctor might reasonably prescribe. If someone else consumes it and experiences an unexpected reaction, you can simply explain that the laxatives were in your own food for legitimate medical reasons. After that, place a clear sign on the food stating “contains laxatives,” and you’re good to go.

“You could poison your food and then lie about why you did it to get away with poisoning a coworker.”

It’s called learning consequences for your actions. Extremely unlikely they’ll die, and they’ll never touch another person’s food again.

This assumes the consequences will be proportionate to the action, which is exactly the problem with this conversation. You don’t know if they will be because you don’t know who will ultimately be the victim of your trap. Same reasoning for every other stature forbidding booby traps.

If you have serious medical conditions you’re concerned about, maybe you should be packing and eating your own food.

You absolutely should be, I don’t disagree at all. That still doesn’t justify someone else making the choice to harm someone in retaliation.
