YES! Not only cockroach, but many different types of insects and not just in chocolate!
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set limits "...to establish maximum levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods for human use that present no health hazard." Such unavoidable defects include insect fragments in our food.
According to the FDA web site: The maximum level of defects in chocolate is an average of "60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when six 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any one subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments."
If you don't mind getting "grossed out," you can also go to the FDA web site to find out how many insect eggs, rodent filth, and mold are allowed in other foods. However, I urge you to be prepared for what you will find out!! Excuse me whilst I throw up.

Other.......you would be shocked to find out what's in your food. Not just cockroaches but rat hairs, feces from vermin, etc., etc. The FDA allows for a certain very low level of contamination, realizing that it is impossible to prevent every bug or rat from getting into foods that are being processed.

There's a possibility that the milk in chocolate causes the allergy.
My wife is allergic to mesquite and there ain't no cockroach parts in that!
