According to Google you probably havent. It was popular belief that a human consumed 8 spiders in their sleep during a year. It is debunked as a myth.

the FDA allows a certain number of bug particles per million in food. They realize that its unavoidable in the process lol.

googe:

The FDA allows certain levels of “unavoidable defects” in food, including insect fragments, rodent hairs, and other extraneous materials, because it’s practically impossible to have completely contaminant-free food production. These defects, often measured in parts per million (ppm), are at levels deemed not hazardous to human health.

  • What are some examples?

    • Peanut butter: The FDA allows an average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams, and one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams.
    • Flour: Up to 75 insect fragments per 50 grams are allowed.
    • Canned tomatoes: 10 fly eggs or two maggots are allowed per 500 grams.
    • Spices: Ground marjoram can contain up to an average of 1,175 insect fragments per 10 grams, according to a Live Science article.

so yes most of us have eaten a spider. probably a few throughout our lives lmao
