Or just make your own dark chocolate instead.

    Food researchers often use the 1986 regulations, known as Prop 65, as a safety standard because the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t set limits on heavy metals in most foods

    I'm cooked.

    Actually, I do more eat milk chocolate historically, but still. Fucking hell, you just get poisoned living in the US, don't you.

    "Limiting daily consumption is the best way to reduce exposure."

    So the best way to make sure you aren't eating toxic food is to just eat less things in total, gotcha.

    Lindt is currently being sued for this in the US. Their defense is basically "well we never promised that there wouldn't be lead and cadmium in our chocolate."

    I really like how they fucking wouldn't mention the fucking brand so I can try and avoid them if I am presented with the opportunity. Like, wtf.

      Sadly, it looks like most of them are unsafe, at least to some degree. Surprisingly, some chocolates from big corporations are safer than non-slave produced ones made by cooperatives, though that's probably because most American chocolate is mostly sunflower oil and other crap.

    I found out about this about 2 years ago and remember looking up which dark chocolate bars were safest in the USA. I don't remember what website I used back then but I found this one today if anyone is interested.
