That was an interesting story, bad enough I deal with some kind of critters in our spaghetti boxes. I think I’ll start freezing those now.

Yuck. Many years ago I was pouring out a bowl of cereal and a locust leg poured out. The locust leg went into the trash, I didn’t eat the cereal and for many years afterword, just looking a cereal box made me gag. I’ve gotten over my aversion but knowing “things” are in the food I eat is a little scary.

When we lived in Japan we had to carefully open anything that had a powdery substance in it….flour…bisquick…cornbread…things like that cause they had bugs in them at least half of the time. It was pretty gross! We even had to check our rice when we opened the package.
Bugs!!! Ewww!

Judy, thanks so much for sharing this site I am just about to go to lunch and I am figuring I will spend the hour looking for bug parts in my food. I can’t wait to share this link with my 12 and 9 year old picky eaters. I figure I can cut my grocery bill by 75%!!! hahahaha

I guess I’ve always been aware that there’s an allowable amount of bug bits in flour, etc. I guess I’m surprised at how high the allowable parts per whatever are. Of course, that’s the highest allowable amount, and I choose to think that whatever I buy is, of course, at the low end of bugginess.
