I knew someone would come back with something like this.

You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.

Besides, if you don't think you're eating that stuff already then you haven't looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.

Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?

That doesn't necessarily mean it's not gross, at least subjectively, though.

My grandfather worked in a lab at a brewery. His job was to sample grain coming in. Rejected grain cars were sent to the cereal factories.
