                                According to the FDA's 'Food Defect Levels Handbook,' a typical 16-ounce jar of peanut butter can legally contain approximately 135 insect fragments and 4.5 rodent hairs. This surprising fact often leads people to question what gross stuff is in peanut butter and how safe it truly is to consume.
