The FDA set these action levels because it is economically impractical to grow, harvest, or process raw products that are totally free of non-hazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects!. Products harmful to consumers are subject to regulatory action whether or not they exceed the action levels!.

It probably happens, but hey, it's not like you're buying a case of chocolate covered ants, or a plate of escargot!.
And if you'd never eat again, would you also never sleep again!? The average person swallows about ten spiders a year in their sleep!.
So only an anorexic insomniac can get away with never hurting animals or bugs!. But I don't think I know any anorexic insomniacs, proabably because they all die so soon!.
Just eat, drink, and be merry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It probably happens, inevitably!. I mean, food processing isn't happening in some disgusting, dirty, run down factory!. Vegetables and fruits are cleaned before processing!. There are regulations on that kind of thing!. But I think when dealing with the processing of vegetables and fruits and things like that, that certain bugs will live in before they are harvested, might end up being processed along with your food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's been said that processed foods (peanut butter for example) can contain so many parts per million of bugs!. I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm thinking that unless an entire spider ends up on my sandwich I'm not going to fret about it too much!.

It's true!. It would cost way to much to hand inspect all food to make sure you didn't get any bugs so they let it slide!.
