if someone sprays disinfectant and i can smell it from the other side of the room does that mean all the food in that room is contaminated with disinfectant?

I think you mean pungent, I made the same mistake before.

And no, it just means that you can smell disinfectant.

Can you even contaminate things with a decontaminant?

You absolutely can. Many commercial disinfectants and detergents (including dish soap) are poison.

If you drank disinfectant it would be bad for you, so I would say that you can contaminate food with it

Well, except for bleach, which can cure COVID

But you have to inject it. And put a flashlight in your ass.

Good question! It’s all relative. There are things for which water would be considered a contaminant, but we don’t balk at adding it to our tea! :-D
