I think that there is relatively little weighting to food science here and relatively high weighting towards technocratic administration, which predicts (correctly) that neither Krispy Kreme franchisees nor donut couriers have done a risk assessment and therefore is extremely prescriptive about the paper trail you need to have to exempt you from broadly applicable practices.
Grocery stores are an example. They're professionalized infrastructure! The regulator knows their safety record individually, as a class, and feels regulatory-warm-fuzzies over knowing that there is a named individual at the store responsible for food safety and who files a report weekly saying "Story this week same as the last week; we checked everything you want checked and there were no anomalies, because we made it so."

KK wants to maintain the quality of the food and a donut sitting in a hot car for a few hours before a customer gets it will degrade the quality. They don't want potential customers (they could open a store in that area) to associate their product with a warm, soggy donut.
