After reading this I had to google it although I very rarely eat chocolate. I read that if you want to eliminate eating bugs in your food you'd probably have to starve. I'm slightly grossed out.

Any brand that has passed a helath code inspection; places get shut down if they have roach problems.

None of them.

The permissible average is LESS THAN 60 insect fragments per 100 grams of chocolate or chocolate liquor.

Hello.

Is there any chocolate brand that produces chocolate (chocolate made from cocoa) with definitely no cockroach pieces in it? I'm very disappointed that most/all chocolates have cockroach pieces in them. If you know any brand that guarantees the absence of cockroach in its chocolate, please let us know.

WHAT THE f**k..???! !! Cockroaches??? What are you talking about? Now I´ve lost all my apetite for chocolate. Explain! :evil:

I don't really care if there are cockroach pieces in chocolate, if there are they must be melted in the chocolate because I've certainly never bit into whole cockroach pieces in chocolate before. But I would think anything that comes from a factory likely has insect bits in it since there I doubt an entire factory can be totally insect free and so its only natural some will end up in the food produced there.

So yeah the idea of dried up/cooked bits of insect in food does not really disturb me, and I wouldn't be totally closed minded to trying cooked insects after all I eat shrimp and those are creepy looking when their alive...I just don't like the idea of eating anything alive and the texture of freshly killed insects may be unpleasant.

Where do you think the Nestlé Company got their inspiration for the Crunch bar?

Wikipedia wrote:

Nestlé Crunch is the name of a chocolate bar made of milk chocolate with crisped rice mixed in, produced by Nestlé.

So why aren't the anti-GMO nutters going after the Nestlé Company?

They do go after Nestle.

Once I bought a loaf of bread at the store and there was a LIVE roach in it!! ! A BIG one.
He was nice,healthy and in the process of mutating thanks to that good GMO wheat :lol:

Now you know why they call it Wonder bread,you wonder what the hell is in it.

The insects are ground up into cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is pretty fine. 60 insect fragments per 100g, eh? Wheat flour supposedly averages like 75 per 50 grams.

i wondered a certain logical question, and.... yep.

Chocolate Allergies Linked to CockRoach Parts (link)

i had a cockroach allergy, and i had an aversion to chocolate. i did have a reaction once, but it was a chocolate covered granola bar with too many ingredients to be certain what caused the reaction.

(cockroach allergies are VERY common)
