For brined or maraschino cherries, a sample is considered OK in the FDA's eyes as long as no more than 5 percent of the cherries are rejected for containing maggots. Canned citrus fruit juice can contain up to one maggot per 250 milliliters (about 1 cup), but the good news is that juice that does contain a maggot cannot also have five or more fly eggs. (Phew!) Mushrooms can have up to 20 maggots of any size per 100 grams, or up to five maggots are allowed if they are longer than 2 mm. Maggots are considered an aesthetic defect. Naa Maata, Nene Vinanu
