21. A Jar Of Peanut Butter Could Contain Up To 5 Rodent Hairs

Okay, let's start with an important disclaimer. There are not rodent hairs in every jar of peanut butter. However, the FDA says it is allowable for there to be five rodent hairs for every pound of peanut butter put on the market, which is just as horrifying. Why are there rodents in our peanut butter in the first place? The FDA also allows there to be up to one hundred and fifty parts of bugs for every pound of peanut butter if you prefer. Yum, extra protein by the pound.
