Chocolate safe to eat?

[u/cornycorrine]

This chocolate has a small knick from I assume a box cutter... hate to return knowing it'll probably be thrown away and wasted... but I also don't wanna be a silly billy and eat contaminated chocolate

Chocolate bars are not hermetically sealed. You will be fine.

EDIT since there seems to be a misunderstanding: I AM SAYING THAT THE HERMETICALLY SEALED ENVIRONMENT MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS COMMENT WOULD CREATE AN ANAEROBIC ENVIRONMENT. NOT THAT THE CHOCOLATE IS CURRENTLY IN THAT SITUATION. I WAS MERELY REPEATING/CLARIFYING WHAT WAS SAID IN THE PREVIOUS COMMENT. I FULLY KNOW THAT THE ENVIRONMENT, BOX CUTTER SLICE OR NOT, IS NOT A HERMETICALLY SEALED ENVIRONMENT. Okay! I'm guessing that would create an anaerobic environment for harmful bacteria to grow... would you recommend I cut that part off?

The wrapper does not create an environment devoid of air. Even with no nick, air is still able to get to the chocolate bar.

I know, that's what I was saying, that the wrapper does not do that. And that that sort of "devoid of air" environment is the type that I should be extra concerned about with in terms of any contamination.

Oh my fucking god and I'm getting downvoted since apparently other people also misunderstood
