The FDA 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.strange-but-true.info

It's not just chocolate. Its that way on all processed food from peanut
butter to flour. It's impossible to get all of the tiny insects and insect
parts out of the food supply and thats not just because we use machines to
process it today. There were set tolerences for foreign materials in place
years ago when much of our food was processed by hand. Its just one of those
unpleasent facts of life that most of us prfer not to dwell on.

Ummm... delicious insect fragments in chocolate.

Yummmy insect parts in chocolate, more protein and no need
to buy chocolate covered beetles, bees, wasps, frogs or grasshoppers
or locusts.

The FDA also permits x parts per of rat droppings, too.

Like insects, can't get that out 100% either.

Enjoy your cereal.
