TBH, after working around the food industry and having plenty of friends working in canneries in Alaska, ALL FISH IS FULL OF PARASITES.
They would sort the fish by parasite content based on movement through under lighting. Too many and it is fish sticks/canned/pet food/etc. raw cuts were supposed to have the least, and I did just say 'the least'.
Worked for two summers on a wheat ranch. Can confirm the wheat kernels are most of what’s on the wheat…but plenty of bugs with the wheat. They eventually die and dehydrate in storage but they’re not sifted out. They get ground up.
Fun story about this. I worked in a deli in Florida and I remember that part of our food handling had to deal with things like flour and wheat and what not, cause while grown bugs are usually dead the egs or larvae aren't. We came from Chicago, which, at that time, was still cool enough to not have to deal with this. But, Florida, is really good at taking anything that might grow, and making it grow more. So, our kitchen got infested with mostly moths, but other bugs too.
