We eat rocks and insects all the time — they’re just really really tiny.
Trader Joe’s sources food, including prepared food, from all over the world. Sometimes standards slip. With the falafel I can kind of see it. Every time I buy dried beans, the label says to rinse and sort them carefully. I think it even mentions pebbles. Some items need to be rinsed and checked carefully for sand. Many fresh vegetables need to be checked for bugs. I don’t know if this gets more or less accurate with automation, but, yeah: rocks and insects. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more. Or maybe it does, but Trader Joe’s is more apt to actually do recalls.

Maybe ticking off some employees in the food processing chain.
