What the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know # 3

FOOD COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW...

...that your food can legally contain maggots. Sure, the FDA limits the amount of these and other appetite killers in your food, but that limit isn't ZERO!

The following allowances aren't harmful to your health--but, I can't promise that the very thought of them WON'T make you sick!

Canned pineapple: 20 percent positive mold tests
Canned tomatoes: 5 fly eggs and 1 maggot per 500 grams
Frozen broccoli: 80 mites per 100 grams
Ground cinnamon: 400 insect fragments and 11 rodent hairs per 50 grams
Peanut butter: 30 insect fragments or 1 rodent hair per 100 grams
Popcorn: 20 gnawed grains or 2 rodent hairs per pound
Potato chips: 6 percent rotten chips

Still hungry???
