Insects. It is estimated that with the USDA and FDA standards on the amounts of bug and insect parts "allowable" in packaged foods, that the average American eating foods that meet standards, could eat an average of four pounds of insect parts each year.

Neither does it account for produce purchased from local and organic* farms that are not packaged foods regulated by the standards for packaging.*organic farmers are restricted in the use of pesticides which account for a major reduction in "insect parts", along with mechanical washing of produce, in the food stream.
