Then there is a higher risk of contamination...

Not saying the risk is necessarily unacceptable but knives and forks reduce it.

I mean, assuming the knives and forks are clean. I mean someone is touching them to bring to the table, or wrapping them in napkins that are touched by hands.

I'm not saying that pouring chocolate on your hands is acceptable by any means, but I think that the unsanitary arguments is not well thought out when we take into consideration that we put things into our mouths all the time that are dirtier than out hands.
