EWWW

Eghh....this is gross. If your a chocoholic- you might not want to read this...

Tolerance levels for chocolate and chocolate liquor used in the manufacture of such products as Hershey's chocolate, are up to 120 insect fragments per cup (8 oz) or 2 rodent hairs per cup. That means the Hershey's chocolate bar you eat may contain one rodent hair and 16 insect parts, and yet carry the FDA's blessing.

For chocolate powder or pressed cakes used for baking, there must be no more than 75 insect parts in 3 tablespoons of powder. Up to 4% of the cacao beans may be infested by insects. Rat droppings or other animal excreta must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound!

"...heard that it contains cockroach eggs, and one woman licked her envelopes and she had cockroah brewing in her tongue... doctor removed it as it was affecting her swallowing because she didn't know... they told her and she nearly fainted.."
