I recall reading that pepper content was allowed an 8% “insect parts” allowance by the FDA.

Did you know that the FDA allows up to .002% rodent feces in things like hot dogs? I know this is true because once when I was working at a meat plant while a teenager, I watched an inspectio. The hot dog batch measured only .0015% and a 'mix chef' had to tap in a small amount from a jar to bring the batch up to spec...

Is it April 1 yet...?
