Spy quoted from this in the 80s, and Harper's did in its October issue, but it always makes good reading: the FDA's Food Defects Action Levels - and the beauty of the web is you can get the whole thing yourself: <http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html>. less than 10mgs of mammalian excreta per pound of cocoa beans, fewer than 30 fly eggs per 100g of tomato paste, fewer then 13 insect heads per 100g of fig paste are of no danger to human health....
