All of the samples that we tested had detectable levels of either cadmium or lead,” said James Rogers of Consumer Reports. Rogers said 23 of the 28 samples tested exceeded the safety levels used in the study. The study shared that cadmium found in soil, can infiltrate coco plants and lead contamination could happen in processing chocolateThey're saying that the new maybe/alleged problem with the chocolate is maybe worse than the shot for the chicom plague that they made.

Dark chocolate is way too bitter for me. I don’t care for chocolate to begin with, but I can eat something chocolate covered with a non-chocolate filling such as Almond Joy or Kit Kat bars.

So we have Lily’s dark choc baking chips, 55%.
Do you think they are safe or just not tested?
