KEY POINTS:
FRANKFURT - A man in Germany was put off his Italian chocolate treat when he noticed that a bump in the bar was not a nut but part of a human finger.
"He found a fingertip, complete with fingernail, right in the middle of the bar," said a police spokesman in the town of Mainz, close to Frankfurt.
"I suppose it went unnoticed because there were nuts in the chocolate and it was hard to tell the difference," the police spokesman said, adding the fingertip was being examined by forensic experts.
The 28-year-old man was in shock when he took the bar to police after a family doctor confirmed its contents.
Police declined to name the brand of the chocolate.
