Abstract
The method of spiral-vessel count for cocoa-seed slrells was applíed to 40 commercial samples of powdered chocolate. The counts disclosed that 52.5% of the samples met tlre 1.75% limit for shell content permitted by interna-
tional food standards. It is suggested that the Brazilian legislation could tolera te up to 1.75% cocoa-seed shells in chocolate.
