So wait, they purchased and ate chocolate that was labeled as expired in , and they're blaming someone else? Or was it not printed somehow? Nothing really gross about that little guy, in some cultures people actually purposly eat bugs etc Guys, this is nothing new.
Chocolate contains theobromine a harmful alkaloid causing abnormal gland growth, headaches, sleepless-ness, depression, upset stomach, itching, and flushing of the skin , and tannin thought to cause cancer of the digestive tract , and may contain high amounts of caffeine and theophylline. These poisons must be flushed out of the system by the kidneys and liver. Children who drink cocoa are more likely to have bedwetting problems.
Chocolate has recently been incriminated in prostrate enlargement in men. Harvesting of the cacao beans occurs in tropical countries where sanitation levels fall far below those in the US. Workers cut pods from the cacao tree and beans are piled in the farmer's yard and allowed to ferment for 3 to 8 days. This process is essential to developing the flavor. During this process, children and adults walk over the piles; insects, rodents, small animals and other living things make their nests in the piles, and any type of contamination may occur during this primary processing stage of chocolate.
The U. Department of Health publishes a booklet entitled "The Food Defect Action Levels" and lists specifications of "current levels for natural or unavoidable defects in food" for chocolate in the form of "insect, rodent, and other natural contaminants" allowed by the FDA.
Tolerance levels for chocolate and chocolate liquor used in the manufacture of such products as Hershey's chocolate, are up to insect fragments per cup 8 oz or 2 rodent hairs per cup.
That means the Hershey's chocolate bar you eat may contain one rodent hair and 16 insect parts, and yet carry the FDA's blessing. For chocolate powder or pressed cakes used for baking, there must be no more than 75 insect parts in 3 tablespoons of powder.
Rat droppings or other animal excreta must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound! At a meeting of the Society for Clinical Ecology, a member related this experience.
In an endeavor to track down the source of allergenic substances, he visited a South American country to study the cacao bean. He began at the sight where it was grown and traced it all the way through the manufacturing process. At one point he went down to the docks where the beans stood on open wharves awaiting shipment. On opening one of the crates he found it alive with cockroaches. He estimates that one-fourth of chocolate consists of dead, ground-up, melted-down cockroaches, and that is one of the factors that makes it such a common allergen.
Many foods we eat have insects or insect parts in them, that we don't see. The Department of Health and Human Services has set a standard called the Food Defect Action Levels, which to quote a publication "are set on the basis of no hazard to health These levels are set because it is not possible, and never has been possible, to grow in open fields, harvest and process crops that are totally free of natural defects.
The alternative is not satisfactory because of the very real danger of exposing consumers to potential hazards from residues of these chemicals, as opposed to the aesthetically unpleasant but harmless natural and unavoidable defects. This does not make it harmful to consume. Once Nutella is made it is good for a total of 1 year. Ferrero Rocher contains a lot of sugar, a product that works as a preservative.
If unopened and stored properly, dark chocolate lasts 2 years from the day it was made. If opened, but still stored properly, the rule of thumb is one year. As for milk and white chocolate bars, the time available is cut in half.
One year if unopened and stored properly, and months if opened and stored properly. Aside from coffee, other foods and drinks that contain caffeine can cause diarrhea or loose stool. Hope this helps. There is another method you can find on the Ferreo Rocher website but in my opinion its not as spectacular as ours was but cheaper. Hi I simply love this chocolate,The taste is so amazing,If I start eating then it gets difficult to stop,The only prolem is the calories intake,69 Calories at a shot!
Espero su mas pronta respuesta gracias!!!! Take under consideration that the taste of each Ferrero good changes in time because it is pure nature. The more fresh it is the taste is better. Usually 2 months from production data it is the best. I bought two boxes of Ferraro rochner chocolated its covered with a white layer of something.. There are fake Rochers on the market in especially USA.
The real ones are called Ferrero Rocher. The fake ones are typically called Ferraro Rocher and are from Japan. As for the expiration dates on the Rochers they do not give a day as many of you Americans think. In europe dates are given day-month-year and on some products they only give month-year on the expiration date. If it as someone early used as an example says April 10, then it expires in April I hate to break it to all of you Ferrero Rocher chocolate lovers but i recently had a traumatizing experience.
After i took a small bite from the chocolate i notice small crawling bugs on the table. I immediately try to find where they came from. Then notice a couple of them crawling around the chocolate wrapper.
If my message does not get through to this blog i will post a video on youtube with the other chocolates i have not opened yet. I am percent sure that there are bugs in them.
The purpose of this message is to warn others from having the same experience. I would not waste my time if what i said was not true. But if you ignore my message just make sure to inspect the chocolate before devouring it. Previous entry: Ferrero Mon Cheri. Subscribe in a reader.
