I used to find adulterated food all the time as part of my job. We'd ask the companies what they were going to do with that food, which was unfit (and illegal) to hold for sale. They usually offered to "voluntarily dispose of it." We suggested they adulterate it so scavengers would not try to eat it. That's where the soapy water, or motor oil or bleach, gets poured on apparently good food.

Brother Frank may think it's a waste, but I hope he wouldn't have wanted to eat food with mouse turds and hair and urine in it, or grain with beetle larvae nestled comfortably inside the kernels. You can't see the bacteria that cause the cans to swell, or the meat to spoil. When in doubt, throw it out.
