Newport Beach Chiropractor: Everyday Food Full of Bug Parts, Mold and Maggots
by OC_DOC
Check out this official Link from FDA for more information.
Do you know what is in your food? Most Americans simply do not know that the FDA actually allows bug parts, maggots and rat excrement to be put into their food. Keep in mind, the numbers you're looking at on this site, are a maximum allowable amount, but it's still pretty eye opening!
Some examples of these "natural contaminations" considered safe by the Food & Drug Administration (from their own booklet) include:
Canned Citrus Juices (such as orange juice) - 5 or more Drosophila and other fly eggs per 250 ml or 1 or more maggots per 250 ml (250ml = 8 ounces)
Macaroni And Noodle Products - Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams
Mushrooms - Average of over 20 or more maggots of any size per 100 grams of drained mushrooms
Peanut Butter - Average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams
Tomato Paste, Pizza And Other Sauces - Average of 30 or more fly eggs per 100 grams OR 15 or more fly eggs and 1 or more maggots per 100 grams
Once again- stick to a mostly raw and clean diet and avoid processed food.
