Peanut butter contains rat hairs and insect fragments
An FDA report sets out the ‘levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods that present no health hazards for humans’. Peanut butter may legally contain an average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams and an average of one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams. The source of the insects and hair may be the harvested peanuts themselves or may come from infestation and contamination during processing.
