Chocolate has no microorganisms.
It is a compound of ground cacao beans and sugar. Sometimes powdered milk is added to make Milk Chocolate.
Microorganisms are microscopic plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. Algae, amoebas, E. coli and yeast are all microorganisms. But, chocolate is not.
You may be thinking of micronutrients like anti-oxidants. Chocolate has several micronutrients many of which are very useful but this does not make chocolate a health food. The amount of fat and sugar (even in a Dark Chocolate bar) in chocolate means that it should be eaten sparingly. Luckily, chocolate has a very strong flavor and a little can go a long way. ;)
