I love it.... but after watching a programme about how many insects/maggots are in a jar I feel traumatised :(

    You probably shouldn't learn anything about chocolate.

    If you think too much about what's in your food.. you'd never eat.

    hopefully somewhere in the allotted 20 ppb aflatoxin, there is enough to sanitize the peanut butter.

    Somehow reading this doesn't lessen the enjoyment of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I am eating...

    Bugs, bugs, bugs! They're everywhere. In your carpets and sofas, in your food (even produce, yeah bugs like fruit, too), even living on your body. We live on Earth, along with the rest of Nature. Sometimes we forget (heck, I tend to for self-preservation of my sanity), but I'm not gonna worry. My PB sammy today was delicious, maggots and all (and probably some yoga mat in the bread). I should have washed it down with cow pus, too, just for good measure!

    The point is, sometimes we just have to accept that our food will never, ever be pristine and antiseptic. Never has been, never will be.:flowerforyou:

    Yup. Same with most processed foods, there is an "acceptable" amount of contamination. Really it's best just to not think about it and go eat a PB and banana sandwich :)

    There's an allowable amount of rat hair, too, but I still eat peanut butter every day. On my probably wormy apples.

    And this is just another reason why we're friends.

    If it bothers you plenty of markets like Wholefoods etc allow you to pick you own peanuts and grind them. Eliminates all those extra ingredients too.
