Found out a while back that OK Joe's BBQ sauce is made with anchovies

My family's cheese dip. Didn't realize Mushroom Soup was an ingredient.

Pretty sure sardines or anchovies are an ingredient in worchester sauce so it's probably not too big of a reach to see anchovies in bbq sauce.

Soy sauce originally included fermented fishes.  (Learned from reading the book "Salt".)

Ok, I think this thread was a bad idea. --MODS-- please delete before I  and never eat again.

How about a little rat hair with your peanut butter? A fly head with your macaroni and cheese? Though it may sound disgusting, these things and other gross filth the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calls "natural contaminants" are indeed allowed and present in your food.

In fact, so common are these contaminants that the FDA has published a booklet detailing the so-called "Food Defect Action Levels," which were needed, according to the FDA, " ... because it is economically impractical to grow, harvest, or process raw products that are totally free of non-hazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects."

 Here is a very brief sampling of the FDA's Food Defect Action Level list. They begin investigation when foods reach the action level they've set. According to the FDA, typical foods contain about 10 percent of the action level, but others say they contain more like 40 percent.

CHOCOLATE AND CHOCOLATE LIQUOR

•Insect filth: Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments

•Rodent filth: Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined OR any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs

CITRUS FRUIT JUICES, CANNED

•Insects and insect eggs: 5 or more Drosophila and other fly eggs per 250 ml or 1 or more maggots per 250 ml

RED FISH AND OCEAN PERCH

•Parasites: 3% of the fillets examined contain 1 or more parasites accompanied by pus pockets

MACARONI AND NOODLE PRODUCTS

•Insect filth: Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

•Rodent filth: Average of 4.5 rodent hairs or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

PEANUT BUTTER

good luck eating now, though. 

[jtksu]

Yeah, you just opened our eyes to the fact that's some nasty crap in processed foods.  This is the first time in my entire life that I have ever been told of this.  Hey-  did you know that water is wet?  I know, it just blows your mind, right?!

This is correct, jt is not.  That's a common myth.

[jtksu]

Actually, gonna have to call you retards out.  The original recipe, created by Caeser Cardini, contained no anchovies except what is the worcestershire sauce.  However, if you go look on the back of pretty much any bottle of caeser dressing, you will see anchovies (or some variation) in the ingredients. I am smart, you are dumb and you look like an even bigger Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) than usual after this failed attempt.

It's called unavoidable filth. I think there's also regulations on rat poop per X amount of processed food or raw material

This thread took a strange turn.

Also ran across a paper in a class once that suggested that each American eats roughly 7 pounds of insects per year
