Insect Found in Kettle

Question

Hello, I found an insect in the kettle's filter. Have we violated a prohibition?

Answer

Hello 

You have not violated a prohibition, as the taste of insects is considered 'defective' and does not prohibit the water.

Additionally, there is much more than 60 times the water compared to the small insect.
