Mmm, good...Mmm, good

The Food and Drug Administration closely regulates the amount of filth allowable in our canned and processed food. For example, the FDA allows no more than 30 insect fragments in every 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of peanut butter, no more than 35 fruit fly eggs in eight ounces of boxed raisins, no more than 11 rodent hairs in every 1.8 ounces of ground cinammon, no more than five fruit fly maggots in every 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of canned mushrooms, and no more than five milligrams of rodent droppings in a pound of sesame seeds.
