Help! My Mil Pureed Leftover Table Food That Had Gone Bad, Reheated Until Boiling Point, And Gave It To Baby?

Now apparently this wasn’t the first time she did it.
Only this time I caught her.
I had a change of plan and decided to pick up my son from her place. She was feeding my son and he plainly refused, which wasn’t normal, because he always loves food and mealtime.
Babies must’ve had a sixth sense for bad food.
So she didn’t answer when I asked her what it was, but one of the maids in the kitchen (yes, my mil has several maids) finally told me that it was leftover food that had spoiled.
My mil didn’t want to throw it away because they were kinda expensive, so she had these food reheated until steaming hot “to kill all bacterias”, added some seasonings, and then put in a blender.
When I confronted her, she said the food is of high quality and very expensive, and even if it had spoiled, boiling would make it good again. She said she’d fed this type of “cuisine” many times to my baby and he was “fine” and “loving it”.
Previously, my son has had diarrhea after seeing his granma. But mil had always blamed it on my bad hygiene, my house being dirty, etc, etc.
He seems fine now and still breastfeeding, but I wonder if someday, my mil’s cooking could cause more than just mild diarrhea.
I wish I had a choice to leave him to another caretaker.
