Reply to comment by Hattix in TIL the FDA’s Food Defect Action Levels Handbook details the acceptable levels of contaminants of food from sources such as maggots, thrips, insect fragments, “foreign matter”, mold, rodent hairs, and insect and mammalian feces. by anogre8me

In part because of how much we eat fast food, and how many of those fast food locations have extremely gross soda machines (think specifically the part that stores ice).

The easiest way to avoid food poisoning while eating out is to avoid ice, cilantro, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It's not a guarantee but your odds get better.
