Can a spoon be left in food in fridge?

I wouldn't leave a spoon in the food for a couple reasons: # It would get in the way of sealing the container and could cause a mess if accidentally hit # It could be a source of contamination if the handle of the spoon slides into the food. Otherwise, if the spoon is made out of non-reactive material, it should not be a problem.
