Or, just hear me out—you could throw the whole thing away and try to never think about the maggots again.
I knew someone would come back with something like this.
You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.
Besides, if you don't think you're eating that stuff already then you haven't looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.
La la la (puts fingers in ears) I'm not listening!
All water statistically has Hitler's pee in it by now.
Except the USDA and FDA specifically are irrelevant in any other country.
That's true.
Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?
If there is one, they're lying.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's not gross, at least subjectively, though.
My grandfather worked in a lab at a brewery. His job was to sample grain coming in. Rejected grain cars were sent to the cereal factories.
