@drsermedmezher: This Just Ruined Coffee 🤢 #insects. In the world of food production, it is almost impossible to prevent the presence of tiny insect parts in our food entirely. Consequently, food safety regulations have established "acceptable levels" for these contaminants, acknowledging that certain minute quantities do not pose a health risk. Unavoidable Contaminants: Insects are naturally present in the environment where food is grown, harvested, and processed. Despite rigorous cleaning and inspection processes, it is nearly impossible to remove all insect fragments from food products. Regulatory Standards: Food safety authorities, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have set specific guidelines and limits for the presence of insect parts in food. These standards, outlined in the FDA's Food Defect Levels Handbook, specify the maximum allowable amounts of insect fragments that are considered safe for human consumption. Examples of Acceptable Levels: Different foods have different acceptable levels of insect parts. For example, the FDA allows up to 60 insect fragments per 100 grams of chocolate and up to 30 insect fragments per 10 grams of paprika. These levels are set based on what is deemed safe and achievable through current food production practices. #coffee #coffeeaddict
