The answer

Same playbook as chocolate: the FDA allows an average of 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams of peanut butter before taking action, plus up to about 30 insect fragments. The agency treats it as an aesthetic defect at those levels, not an acute health hazard, which somehow does not make the sandwich more appetizing.

Correct answer: 1 or more

One unbelievable fact. Three guesses.
