Leading cheap chocolate manufacturer in Germany, better Bavaria?

Hello Community, So, in December 2022 and June 2023, I took a tour of a really good chocolate manufacturer in Oberammergau. I really appreciate their quality, love their chocolates—at least a lot of them—and would never buy cheap chocolate again. But it's also true that even something cheaper like this can't be ignored (anymore). Far…

Rat bites me?
Hello, I've had four rats for a month now, and three of them are tame, meaning I can lift them out of their cage, pet them, and they sometimes even come onto my arm on their own. But one of them always bites me. At first, she only nibbled on my finger a little, but…

Hello,
A bought apple is a food that might have been through many hands. Whether you want to train your immune system or wash it off is perhaps a matter of taste.
I don’t really know what it looks like with spray residue, because I myself practically only have apples from my own production or organic cultivation, where this is not a topic. Normally, there should be only barely detectable residues, there are waiting periods, last treatment no later than so long before harvesting, approved spraying agents… If there are still residues, then I am not sure whether they are always on the shell: many treatments take place during flowering, residues of which could also be found in the fruit, then it would not matter if you wash them or scrub them.
To the multi-cited wax layer: apples are generally not waxed in Germany, but the import of such apples is allowed. This would have to be clearly stated when selling. It should be distinguished from the fact that some apple varieties form a partly very strong wax layer from nature, which can even be polished. Some of my apples do that, and I’m sure I won’t! To have to wash off such a wax layer, I consider unnecessary.
🌟 Thanks!
Frische Äpfel eher nicht, die von Supermärkten haben eine dünne Wachsschicht drauf, sodaß sie länger halten und mehr Glanz haben. Wasche Äpfel aus Supermärkten daher immer mit heißem Wasser, sodaß die Wachsschicht abgeht.
And if not how harmful is that then?
It’s usually not bad… I’m just thinking that you could catch salmonella if a bird blew before.
Pesticides or gastrointestinal complaints could occur when eating unwashed apples.
If that were harmful, I’d be dead by now. Since my earliest childhood, I have eaten apples directly from my own tree or even fell down after once wipe on the pants.
