Well, there is some allowance for 'insect parts' to be in certain foodstuffs, such as flour and cereal, so there is a small chance that you could ingest some spider bits that way. But otherwise, not unless you actively seek out Spiders as a gourmet item. This is based on an old canard that usually runs: "Over the course of your lifetime, you will swallow 10 spiders while you are asleep". It has, like most folk legends, ("Marlboros make you sterile"), tremendous staying power. It doesn't change the fact that it is folk legend - nothing more.
