The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows certain levels of insect parts in food products. The FDA has established tolerance levels for certain types of insects, insect eggs, and other natural contaminants in food products, as it is recognized that it is difficult to grow crops and produce food that is completely free of these materials.
