"An average of two rodent hairs per one hundred grams of peanut butter is allowed." - No. 20. FDA Government guidelines.

I have been reading up on some of the FDA guidelines. http://www.fda.gov/ there is some pretty interesting things to read. What is allowed, and not. Recalls are there as well. Warnings too.

Are you a person who wants to be informed on such things, or is ignorance bliss?

I like to be informed on things like this. But I do agree that ignorance is bliss. But with things like my food safety I think I want to know. I would like to have the choice to buy it or not and know that facts to whats in it. That's disgusting about the rodent hair I don't think I will be to into eating peanut butter ever again yuk...

Actually I did not know about hairs, but I have heard that other things are allowed to be in there. Same thing with ketchup. I try not to think about these things though. I like peanut butter and ketchup.

I never thought about it, why in the world would they allow stuff like that in our food. they are supposed be their to look after all of us. I guess that the big businesses with the money are the ones that are important.

Ah, I'd kind of heard stories about this kind of thing before. It involved vitamins and percentage of bug carcasses. I don't know if that's an Urban Legend or not. Seems to defy belief, but you never know and I've never aggressively researched it. I suppose I don't really want to think about it.

Oh my goodness..that is...just nasty. I love peanut butter it is a all time favorite of mine and my little sisters a comfort food..I will now be thinking of changing my comfort food so that I will know that i am not eating rodent hair and whatever else those guidelines let slip pass.
