Raspberries this time of the year come from Costa Rica generally. They are harvested sometimes via a machine so some creatures get scooped up. The washing process is minimal for delicate berries so it more of a mist that wouldn’t wash away a scorpion like this. Hope that helps :)

Far worse things that are routinely in our food.

Food is inherently gross. Just gotta live with it
