Texsox Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 to bad this is a prank http://www.zug.com/pranks/eating/ FDA Link, More at Site Actually the FDA does allow acceptable limits of these types of items in your food. The calculator may be off and not set to the exact FDA levels, but make no mistake you are eating rodent and insect parts. FDA establishes food defect action levels (DALs) for various food products and various types of insects. For instance, the permissible level of certain insect fragments in 50 grams, or about two cups, of flour is 75 parts. (This is the uppermost level at which fragments pose no health hazard in the product.) According to Paris Brickey, chief of the microanalytical branch, division of microbiology, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Washington, D.C., insect fragments may be unavoidable in foods grown outside, exposed to a certain amount of insect contamination. Brickey says that the amount of insect fragments permitted by the DALs is not only harmless, but "unavoidable to a certain degree. If weevils attack wheat in the field and breed in the kernels, they aren't always removed when the wheat is cleaned, so they get ground up into the product. That's unavoidable." But there are times when a product is considered contaminated even if the number of insect fragments it contains falls below the DAL. "Certain fragments come from what we classify as filth insects--such as certain types of flies," Brickey explains. "They inhabit filthy areas, often feeding on garbage. Some feed on sores and cuts. They can carry microorganisms. We're not held by defect action levels with these. We'll take action." When there's an unsanitary practice involved, "we look at it on a case-by-case basis without reference to the numbers," says Brickey. In such cases, FDA scientists evaluate the type of insects as well as the size of the insect fragments. "In a milled product, this may indicate whether the insects were of post-milling or pre-milling origin. If they were in the wheat before it was milled and were ground up with the flour, that's one thing. If they got into the flour after it was milled, there was probably an unsanitary condition," says Brickey. The alternative to permissible insect fragment levels, according to Brickey, would be "food so expensive nobody could afford it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
