Lawyers for In-N-Out say DoorDash's delivery vehicles aren't compliant with the California Retail Food Code, and In-N-Out would never authorize DoorDash "or any other entity to deliver its food products to consumers without the necessary food handling licenses and food safety procedures in place."

This, to me, seems like a valid concern. The folks at In-N-Out take the freshness of their food very seriously. If someone gets sick from an In-N-Out burger delivered by DoorDash, it's not unreasonable to assume this will have negative consequences for In-N-Out's reputation, not just DoorDash's.
