Does leaving utensils in food cause food poisoning in refrigerator?
It's highly unlikely, but stop that habit! Also do notleave anything in a tin, but take the remainder out and put into a plastic or glass container and then into the fridge.
Can leaving stainless steel utensils in refrigerated food cause illnesses?
I think it's mainly the handles of the utensils that are the problem. If one spoon is left in a pan of something for extended periods, and multiple people touch the spoon, and then the spoon handle accidentally tips into the food, then the food gets contaminated. In restaurants food gets cooked in stainless steel pans all the time. Things like casseroles go straight from the cooling rack to the fridge or freezer in their cooking pans so I can't see how the utensil being stainless steel would be the problem.
