cockroach is allowed in making chocolate...

[AmericanDeSi]

Not only cockroach, but many different types of insects and not just in chocolate!
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set limits "...to establish maximum levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods for human use that present no health hazard." Such unavoidable defects include insect fragments in our food.
According to the FDA web site: The maximum level of defects in chocolate is an average of "60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when six 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any one subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments."
If you don't mind getting "grossed out," you can also go to the FDA web site to find out how many insect eggs, rodent filth, and mold are allowed in other foods. However, I urge you to be prepared for what you will find out!!

so what :--) insects are a good source of protein ... we must learn to utilize this almost inexhaustable source of protein. Their potential must be utilized especially in the coming 20-30 years when world's dietry needs will not be fullfilled by "conventional food" alone .
