Doc? I hardly know what that is :) My method is try something and see what happens. Some googling.

I had to do 2 things to make your sample output work with MS Excel 2010
(yeah, it's old but I'm pretty cheap and it still works).

#1 Remove the spaces after the commas.
#2 Double up the quotes in the foobar cell.  I have no idea why.

"=""12DE""","=""12DF""","=""12E0""","=""12E1"""
"=""12DE""","=""12DF""","=""12E0""","=""12E1""","=""foo""""bar"""

Extrapolating, the following works with LibreOffice:

"=""12DE""", "=""12DF""", "=""12E0""", "=""12E1"""
"=""12DE""", "=""12DF""", "=""12E0""", "=""12E1""", "=""foo""""bar""", 
"=""x""""y""""z"""

4 quotes!?  Didn't need to remove blanks.

Are you working from doc?  You seem to be guessing.  Like me.

Is MS Excel 2010 cheaper than LibreOffice 7.0.4.2?
