The Culinary Scanner does consume its input, but even if it didn't, Al wouldn't serve the same dish to an infomorph and a meat-person: that would fall under "selling the same meal twice". If an AI and a biological person want to sit down to dinner together, they have to either both come to Al's realspace location (with the AI driving a bio-chassis so that they can partake) or share a VR session.
As for risk-free fugu, Al won't sell someone else's holoprogram or simsense data, and the CS refuses to scan anything with excessive levels of any toxin on the basis that it has ceased to be food.
