The bad part is you can't see most adulteration in food that's unfit to eat. Yes there's waste. Yes, there's risk in salvaging food.
Some of the food adulterants I've encountered that you wouldn't want to eat: maggots, metal shavings, carcinogens, the big three bacteria, rodent urine, rodent excreta, beetle larvae, caterpillars, bird poop, prescription pharmaceuticals, antifreeze, unlisted food colors, and that's just off the top of my head. Can you spot them all visually? I can't.
