I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s
More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.

That isn’t super encouraging that the standard is less than 10% any matter that isn’t coffee, including insect parts.

You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.
Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.

I’m going to tell myself that this is an American thing that the EU protects me from. Then I will not look into it any further, so that I can continue to exist. Thank you
