Yes! There are regulations in the food industry to 'limit' the amount of 'foriegn material' allowed in processed food. The possibility of a very small amount of 'bug' material in any type of packaged food is real. You would need a very powerful microscope,or some way of testing to find out . Regular store bought milk is GROSS! Always buy organic! Know your food source! Don't eat the packaged crap!

Technically, yes. Bugs are not an ingredient put there by the maker. However, the FDA allows a certain amount of animal parts/waste in all food items. It is a miniscule amount and you will never find it, but it is there in everything you eat. Gotcha scared now !!! LOL

Your friend is talking about the shell of a beetle that is crushed and used for coloring in blueberry and strawberry products. So True.

foods have an allowable amount of pieces of bugs, etc. this amount is set by the government. the only foods that don't are foods that have gone through a reverse osmosis type filter, which the large majrity of foods aren't.

Some dyes are made from crushed insect shells, but I don't think they're found in strawberry ice cream. If they are, I'm sure they're sterilized and harmless.

i am sure there are, but the specks you are thinking of are probably seeds. but all food has a legally "acceptable" amount of bug parts.
