silver star’s blue ribbon dutch loaf

asativum Pass the tasty loaf products, please! I do believe it's the dash of non-mammalian excreta, not exceeding 5mg/lb, that makes it so delectable. Jan 17, 2008

trivet Mmmmmm, tasty loaf products!

reesetee Haha, yarb!

Still better than placenta, in my humble opinion. And the phrase "a variety of tasty loaf products" cannot be beat. Jan 17, 2008

yarb With only minimal levels of mold and non-mammalian excreta, I fail to see where their vaunted "natural spices" are coming from. Jan 17, 2008

sionnach I think that consumers will be pleased to know that levels of extraneous matter in that 'savory blend of natural spices' will conform to ASTA CLEANLINESS SPECIFICATIONS.

Extraneous matter includes, but is not
restricted to: stones, dirt, wire, string, stems, sticks, nontoxic foreign seeds, excreta, manure and animal contamination.

What might these specifications look like for, say, allspice? Why, I'm glad you asked.

They stipulate that:

In six test samples, the number of whole dead insects will not exceed two.
The level of mammalian excreta will not exceed 5mg/lb.
The level of non-mammalian excreta will also not exceed 5mg/lb.
Similarly, the percentages of mold, dead insect parts by weight, and other extraneous foreign matter will be capped at 2.00, 1.00, and 0.50 respectively.
