Chocolates - A Big No

Rat hair in Chocolates are FDA approved under the right conditions with a legal allowance of one hair per 100 grams in every six 100-gram samples.



60 insect fragments in the same quantity are also deemed acceptable




How is Chocolate Made?
Source of chocolate is ‘Cacao Beans’ from trees that grow in the tropical zones near equator. These trees are short statures with fruits hanging on their trunks. The fruits’ inner pulp is roasted, cooked and fermented. Then, very bad smell emanate from that substance. After that refined flour, sugar, certain fragrant chemical essence are added to this fermented pulp and it is further processes. Only then, the bad smell disappear and it starts smelling good. Tons and tons of such lumps of chocolate are exported all over the world.

But during the phase of processing in large vessels, the smell attracts millions of cockroaches and they fall in the process vessels in great numbers and get mixed. So the chocolate companies requested approving authorities that it is impossible to avoid or remove the cockroach body parts from the chocolate, so give us permission to market it along with body parts as it were. The organization that protects the quality of food FDA of USA approved this as they noted that due to “unavoidable” circumstances the insect body parts will make their way to chocolate.
