Yep, now you know.  The food isn't any different, you just know.  It's all part of good food.

On the geek level some of the tests used in the assays are pretty impressive.  Ever think of trying to count insect parts in coffee?

Reading this and other such articles has given me reason to re-evaluate my lifestyle. SO- after a great amount of evaluation and much serious thought I have decided to quit.  Quit reading and to keep enjoying the food I have been eating for decades.

That also goes for anything connected to the Consumer Protection Services Commission.
