Now what I want to know is whether the acceptable levels for all the contaminants add up to at least 100%.

Because if so, I have plans to create an FDA-approved superfood made up of nothing but maggots, thrips, insect fragments, foreign matter, mold, rodent hairs and insect and mammalian feces, and so on...

I think once it's an official ingredient the limit goes away. See: sesame got listed as an allergen, so companies had to take measures to prevent cross contamination... or intentionally add and declare sesame. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-12-22/tough-new-labeling-law-for-sesame-prompts-companies-to-add-it-to-their-products
