You Are What You Eat

Did you know that for every eight ounces of golden raisins you eat, you also eat about 10 or more whole insects?

Or that, for every pound of spices you eat, a milligram of rat and/or mice poo goes down with it?

Yum!

There are 10 or more maggot eggs in every 500 grams of canned tomatoes!

A kilo of wheat can contain as much as 9 milligrams of rat stank!

Double Yum!

How do I know this? ‘Cause the FDA has lovingly put together a little booklet with all these wonderful details, which you can peruse here: Food Defect Action Levels.

Bon Appétit!
