True Crime cases involving baking crimes or kitchen forensics?

I've been diving into episodes where food prep or pastry methods directly tie into crime scenes. Think ricin in a baked ham or a cold case involving a sabotaged cake order. Does anyone have recommendations for documented cases where bakers, food labs, or kitchen equipment (like a hidden compartment in a mixer) were key evidence? I’m curious about how often forensic teams analyze spice blends or flour traces as physical evidence. Bonus points if the case hinges on a 'toxic recipe' angle. 👻
