How Does Salmonella Get Into Chocolate?

Believe it or not, chocolate is actually a fruit since it is a natural product that is derived from trees. Cocoa pods are harvested and crushed to extract the cocoa pulp and beans.

These beans and pulp are then dried outdoors, usually on the ground, and covered with banana leaves. The bean shells can then become tainted with animal feces, as wild animals can freely roam over them.

However, during the chocolate-making process, the beans are roasted over high heat, which should eliminate any bacteria present.

Another potential source of salmonella contamination in chocolate products is the use of harmful ingredients, such as expired or spoiled milk.
