That's fine. As long as you clean it properly before eating it.
I would also claim exception for uncooked food, specifically food that needs to be cooked before it is consumed, if it hits the floor prior to cooking, as long as it's properly cleaned and cooked, it should be fine.... I'm thinking more along the line of meats and things here. If cooking only involves a short bath in boiling water, then no.... 10+ minutes in 300+ F temps, sure.
Exception to the exception: if any debris is on the food which cannot be easily removed.
I'd make exceptions for non-porous foods, I mean our produce has been in the dirt for most of their lives.
But for porous, wet, or craggy food I can't even think about eating it without gagging.
