It isn't any secret that the food industry can be sneaky. But every day you could be consuming more questionable ingredients then you care to think about... ingredients that don't make it anywhere onto the labels. Check out some of the scarier facts we found:

Love strawberry flavored anything? You may want to reconsider. There are more than 50 chemicals that go into making that flavor happen.
You're Eating Rodent Hairs
The FDA allows up to one rodent hair in chocolate and chocolate liquor, four rodent hairs to be present in foods like apple butter, and 11 hairs in ground paprika.
Your Popcorn Has Poop
It is likely that you've also eaten your fair share of rodent poop if you like popcorn.
