What’s the RDI of Rat Droppings?

From the U. S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Defect Action Levels for Chocolate and Chocolate Liquor:

    Insect filth: (AOAC 965.38)

  • Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined OR
  • Any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments

    Rodent filth: (AOAC 965.38)

  • Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined OR
  • Any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs

Mmmmm…. Chitinous goodness…. In other news, “Cochineal” is the Insect word for delicious….
