 Did you know that the average chocolate bar in the U.S. contains at least 8 pieces of an insect in it? Harvesting of the cacao beans occurs in the tropical countries of South America with low sanitation levels. Cacao tree beans are cut and piled in the farmer's field where they ferment for 6 days. During this process, children and adults walk over the piles; insects, rodents, small animals and other living things that make their nests in the piles. Actually the The U. S. Department of Health publishes a book entitled "The Food Defect Action Levels" in which they list unavoidable defects in food (insect, rodents etc.) all allowed by FDA. |

It's not true. Insect legs in chocolate isn't sanitary, and ALL chocolate bars are put under inspection before they are shipped. Rest assured that you are staying to to your life choice of being a vegetarian. ================== Best Life Insurance | Buy Life Insurance |

Perhaps, some local brands follow this way of harvesting but for top branded chocolates, this is not the case. They have a hygiene department that will keep check on all the things that can affect their customer's health including insects, rodents. So, you can trust those chocolates.
