Social media was used to disseminate flyers regarding the chocolate’s slight cockroach presence. Although the issue was unrelated to social media, some news websites also shared this startling and unexpected information.
People were shocked by this, especially chocolate fans, who expressed that they would stop eating it if they could possibly consume a high cockroach.
The websites and accounts were built on the harrowing information that the “American Food and Drug Administration Authority, permitting a small percentage of insects, especially cockroaches that spread on these farms according to that standard.”
She stressed that farmers cannot entirely separate these pests from cocoa during the treatment process and must mix them in, “stating” that the authority permits the presence of cockroaches in 4% of chocolate blocks.
“However, what is being spread is false, as a news website published an investigation of the information spread on these accounts, and by returning to the American Food and Drug Administration’s official website, which was not part of its reports to any of those allegations and showed the spread of those claims before Years on social networks, specifically in the United States of America.
According to what was reported by the American newspaper USa Today, the American Food and Drug Authority’s official spokesperson examined claims that there is a percentage of small cockroaches in “illogical” chocolate about a year ago. The spokesperson explained that the authority’s investigation revealed that insects are not attracted to the cocoa grains used to make chocolate, so there is no basis for this information.
