The U.S. Department of Health publishes a pamphlet The Food Defect Action Levels available to the public which lists the acceptable amount of "natural and unavoidable defects in food".
The current acceptable level for chocolate is "1 rodent hair and 16 insect parts."

Oh man... thanks for that! I'm a dark chocolate addict!
Don't worry tho, it isn't going to stop me from eating it. I am just going to have to purge from my mind what I just read!

Re: Trivia for the Day
I knew there was a reason that I did NOT like chocolate!!! I love to smell of it but won't eat it! Now I know why!!
Of course, if that's the acceptable standard for chocolate, just think what the standard is for beef products... ewwwww... Hot dogs anyone?

Eh. Lots of people all over the world eat bugs. It ain't no thang. I've eaten fried grasshoppers before, and they're pretty tasty.

Re: Trivia for the Day
Acceptable in how much chocolate? A whole big vat or one itty bitty bon bon?
I did have guy in high school give me a chocolate that turned out to be a chocolate covered grasshopper. Boy, did that thing have the weirdest crunch!!! I got back at him by spitting it out all chewed up when he did admit what it was. The dude probably didn't have a clue when I turned him down for Senior Prom!!!
