Ever Wonder Just How Much ‘Crap’ Is Allowed In Your Food By Law? [Infographic]
Personally if I thought about this subject for any length of time I would end up finding myself on a starvation diet so needless to say that until I see factoids like these I tend to stay as far away from the whole subject, because I kind of like living and eating.
Apparently though the government says that it’s actually okay for there to be a tiny percentage of “dirt” in our food, everything from rodent hair to insect fragments with a fact sheet stating that we eat up to two pounds of insects each year.
Yuck.
