Insect parts? Oh joy.....
"Imported spices can often be contaminated with insect parts, animal hairs, various molds and other microscopic fragments.

The FDA has rather loose regulations on this. The article notes that a two-ounce jar of paprika must have about 170 insect fragments to be considered bad. Yuck.

Look at the chart to see which imported spices have the most problems. It includes data on mold counts, insects, and other filth. Another great reason to grow your own herbs and spices!"
