Think twice before biting into a chocolate to loose yourself in its taste - you might actually be chewing a wee bit more then you bargained for.
On Wednesday (August 29).. worms and moths crawled out of a box of chocolates imitating a popular international brand, and even a few larvae. But by the time this was noticed, a few chocolate balls had been consumed. The chocolates were picked up by a Korean consumer on his trip to China. But local manufactoring experts say it looks as though the contamination happened during the manufactoring process.
"It seems to be seriously contaminated during the manufacturing process since the larvae of Plodia Interpun were found," says Professor Ahn Young-chul at Eulji University.
Reports suggest that worms were found in some chocolates made in Korea as well. But the news about the 'China Chocolates' adds to the already-damaged "Made in China" brand.
An array of tainted Chinese products, including toxic toys, toxic toothpaste, inflammable clothes, poisoned pet food and contaminated medicine were discovered across the globe in recent months causing importers and consumers alike to question the quality of goods coming from China.
China, for it's part, dismisses the reports and defends the quality of its exports. The consumer who found worms in his chocolate said the Chinese manufacturer of the chocolate insisted he goes back to China with the product if he wanted any compensation.
"There can be a sort of argument with the consumers about whether these worms appeared during the manufacturing process," said Lee Nam-hee, researcher for consumer rights. (Reuters)
When the labor is cheap and the materials are expensive, the management will not throw food away, no matter how long it’s been sitting around or what contaminants might be present.
LOL! Good one.
Why did you have to post this just before the dinner hour? I think I'm going to puke.
YUK
Eeeeeeeeeeewwwww! That’s nasty!!
So can we expect more of this after Hershey sets up their plants in Mexico and China?

The answer to a question like that is ALWAYS "Follow the money".
Do we know that this not what they meant to do? Some people eat worms. I remember reading something about Martin Luther and the Diet of Worms.
I never understood why anyone would eat something made in China.
The whole Asian food thing has always seemed very suspect to me. And realize, if you threw an old army boot into the ocean for six months, they’d sautee it.
Now they are sending us the stuff that NOT EVEN THE CHINESE WILL EAT!
Think about it, folks.
A “DIET” is like a Congress.
Yeah, you’re right, that’s pretty sleazy!
It’s Chocolarvalicious
