The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) considers chocolate
acceptable for public consumption as long as there are less than 60
microscopic insect fragments per 100 grams (four ounces, or
approximately one candy bar). - from www.odd-info.com


Thank you for the informative posting!

I share your happiness and pride that our government, so demonstrably
inept in so many other areas, is doing an effective job in monitoring
this important area.

Despite your love of all things chocolate, you just *know*, deep in your
heart, that the various manufacturers would be chitin on this standard
without such strict government scrutiny.
