Consumer Reports: Lead and cadmium in chocolate

https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/a-third-of-chocolate-products-are-high-in-heavy-metals-a4844566398/

This has been going on for a while but now more data on which products are high.

Cadmium is thought to come from the soil where the plants grow. Lead from where the beans are dried.

Safe levels are still controversial. But mere detection in measureable amounts seems a concern.

On Halloween you post this?

The chocolates are the best thing to steal from my son’s trick-or-treat bag.
