Found out the FDA allows up to 30 insect fragments per 100 grams of ground paprika

Read that in a food safety report someone posted on a processing forum and now I can't stop wondering what else is hiding in my spice rack, anyone else ever check the allowable limits for their rub ingredients?

Oh man I went down that rabbit hole last year with black pepper! I actually started buying whole spices and grinding them myself, feels better somehow even if I'm probably still getting bug bits. The paprika one got me too so I switched to a small batch company that's super transparent about their sourcing.

Grinding my own cinnamon now after that same bug panic, totally get the switch.
