FDA Guidelines for acceptable contamination

JGT2004

After hearing about the crap in our food a lot lately, my friends and I decided to see for ourselves exactly what the FDA is willing to allow food producers to pass off as "food". Below is the site.... nearly everything has insects which I understand the veggies will have, but do they have to have "mammalian excreta" and "rodent excreta" in them too? I know the factories are huge and its hard to monitor it all and even if we grew everything ourselves nothing would be perfect..... but still. Severely disturbing to know this. And while I won't give up all the foods on the list, I am definately going with fresh over canned/frozen fruits and veggies absolutely whenever possible from now on (and will never touch another raisin)!

I am getting a page not found error from your link.

I have read up on this type of stuff before, and ew it makes you feel like never eating again.

Sorry about that. I don't know how to fix it. I googled FDA Sanitation and the 1st thing that popped up is their "Defect Levels Handbook - FDA"
