Are there dead bugs in cereal?
well, i have heard there are 75 dead bugs i 2 cups of cereal.. but dont lose those appetites! b/c i dont think anyone has proved it!!!

Answer

All processed food products are allowed by law to have a certain degree of contaminants (including insect parts) included in the final product. This is because it would be next to impossible to remove all microscopic organic bits from anything that was originally grown in soil (such as cereal grains). The box of cereal that you buy today is much more free from non-foodstuffs than anything available in the past would have been, as people are more concerned about sanitary standards today than anytime in the past.
