Remotely related: Where I live (not USA, but a quite developed European country), a local newspaper tested Doner Kebab from about a dozen local popular chains for harmful content. They have found traces of human feces in all of them, without exception. The relative winner was very proud that their Kebab contained the smallest amount of human waste, I recall them even giving an interview about it.

&gt; Almost every single one of the foods we tested are within both US FDA and EU EFSA regulations.<p>So the next logical question is: are those standards at reasonable levels? Is the food actually unsafe, or are we just really good at detecting those contaminants now?<p>&gt; Hot foods which spend 45 minutes in takeout containers have 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals than the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant.<p>I thought it would make much more of a difference, honestly.
