Your peanut butter: Now with nutritious rat excrement!

It was too foul for the Texas Health Services? Oh, my.

Too lazy to find an updated reference, but here’s from a 2001 FDA page:
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dalbook.html

from the peanuts section:

SIGNIFICANCE: Aesthetic, Potential health hazard - may contain mycotoxin producing fungi

:eek:

…maybe I want to take ‘catsup’ off my grocery list as well.

this is also why I have a hard and fast rule about not eating seafood.

Fuck their sales!

Rat shit and salmonella in the peanut butter, huh?

Shorter PCA: Eat shit and die!

To the tune of “I feel pretty”:

I smell rat shit, oh yes rat shit,
it’s not cat shit, it’s rat shit for sure,
It’s not bat shit, and it certainly isn’t horse manure.

I think rat shit is listed as part of the fiber content.

From what I understand – and I may well be wrong – there’s just no way to reduce contaminants to zero. Food manufacture attracts pests, period. It’s been true ever since Og opened his first frozen mammoth bars factory back in 50,000BC. And the occasional rat fang or termite butt won’t kill you – our species wouldn’t have survived this long if that were the case. So the FDA sets a maximum tolerance for contaminants, and it has worked out pretty well for us so far.

I’m suddenly glad I don’t eat peanut butter.

During the questioning, he was asked to eat some of his own peanut butter. He refused.

It’s just a shame peanut butter is too thick to push through an IV tube.

If you play your cards right, you can get people to pay extra for the finest termite butts.

(“Termite butt” is now the phrase of the day. Thank you for your fine contribution to my amusement today.)

I’ll bet it would push just fine through a [DEL]2"[/DEL] 6" pipe shoved into an appropriate orifice.

Untrue. It was a heaping helping before downsizing, but now the packages are smaller and you get less shit, crap and crud for your money. :frowning:

Get perspective, people. Read The Jungle. At least PCA doesn’t have employees falling into the vats and going out into the world as jars of Extra Crunchy People Butter.

That we know about.

“I’ll take the rat tart, if there’s not too much rat in it.”

Maybe that’s why Parnell wouldn’t partake in his own goodies…

You know, there’s a theory that *that *kind of “recycling” is a unique solution to overpopulation and the rising cost of food.

Not very unique…you had at least one London piemaker get the idea way back in the 19th Century…

Dumb fucking idiot. Not only are you completely wronjg about libertarian theory, but you’re treating reality as though it were a hypothetical. You grumble about what could possibly happen in Libertarian land while you’re looking at the ACTUAL FUCKING EVENT in America land.

On the plus side, I bet Soylent Green tastes great with peanut butter!

Not if you heat it up to boiling first.

Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut just now…
