I asked AI and it said that in the US, up to 20 maggots are allowed in
100 grams (3.5 ounce) of canned mushrooms.
(I don't know about other countries.)

That's mildly horrifying.  I'm going to blindly hope that there aren't
maggots in canned corn, which is about the only "vegetable" that I buy
in cans.

Canned sweet corn is allowed to contain up to:
    2 or more insect larvae (such as corn earworms or corn borers)
    3 mm or longer larvae, cast skins, or fragments
These limits apply per 24 pounds of canned corn.
