Re: worst things you have found in your food threa

You guys want to see something really gross?

Here's the FDA's guide to the acceptable amounts of insect parts and feces in common foods...

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html

An excerpt:

OREGANO, GROUND
 Insect filth
(AOAC 975.49) Average of 1250 or more insect fragments per 10 grams
Rodent filth
(AOAC 975.49) Average of 5 or more rodent hairs per 10 grams

DEFECT SOURCE: Insect fragments - preharvest and/or post harvest and/or processing insect infestation, Rodent hair - post harvest and/or processing contamination with animal hair or excreta
SIGNIFICANCE: Aesthetic

I was eating my dinner before and I found a crane fly actually cooked in this rice stuff (cant pronounce it so I will call it odd looking rice). It actually totally put me off eating the stuff and I have never touched the stuff since.

Pseudolobster- thanks! Now I have proof for my claims! Ever wondered why Hershey's bars are sometimes a bit grainy? Well, it's not improperly conched chocolate. Now you know.

Do you drink beer, made with hops? Well get this:

HOPS Insects

Re: worst things you have found in your food threa

i sure hope i get good at hunting soon... so i can shove our freezer full of carefully cut four legged critters and have some meat i can be sure isn't full of... well... only full of what i know ;D

unfortunately deer and elk hate me =[

i wish i had better stories for weird shit i've almost served at work but it doesnt happen that much. i figure we'd get a complaint if i tried to serve the buns that were literally as hard as a hockey puck so i toss them :D
all i can say is i dont eat fast food much and when i do i get sick. my store got a perfect health inspection score, but what you get is never perfect. beware even the soda machines.
and no its not mcdonalds
last time i ate there i got so sick, i was turning a shade of green in the face. no joke.

I found ants in a bottle of soft drink I bought at school once, but I took it back as soon as I saw them.

Thats about it tho, and i've found hair in my food plenty of times, but not bought food.

Nothing exciting for me, just a lot of tiny flies and hair.

I've found scarabs in my orange juice, I counted more than 35, no kidding (the worst thing is that I could not count the ones that were already inside of me :))

By "scarabs" do you mean "dung beetles"? Cause that would suck.

Well, my "Chicken McSchool" sandwiches that were the school lunch in 4th and 5th grade had...well...unknown and unidentifiable parts in them.  I think I ran into a part of an eyeball once, and they were always full of veins.

One time, a giant bag of rice grew a bunch of click beetles in it.  I said, eat them anyway!  My mom threw it away.  Oh well.

My friend's burger had a footprint in it once...

Then there were the two spiders I ate last year as dares, but I guess that was intentional.

In 5th grade, we used to take the school hot dogs and bounce them.  You could get them almost to the ceiling if you wanted.  Then you would take them home and grow crystals with them.  Nobody actually ate them!

Plenty of hairs, all over the place.  I'm used to them.  I just pull them out of my teeth and keep eating.  Dog hairs suck, though, because they stick more than normal hairs to the roof of your mouth.

Moldy cheese is nasty.  I've confused cheddar for colby jack before (luckily I caught myself and didn't eat it!)

I've had my bird poop on my lip before.  I thought that was food...(blecch!)

Confusing fruit punch for Sangria...(blecch!)

Pickles...(blecch!)

Etc.

What kind of crystals? :-/

He means salts crystals, I think. You just toss it in a bucket and watch it grow! :D
