Consumer group found 'concerning' levels of lead or cadmium in a third of the products it tested, from brownie mixes to chocolate chips.
With Halloween just around the corner, Consumer Reports has some scary news to relay about many treats typically found in trick-or-treat bags, as well as in the kitchen cupboard. From cocoa powder to brownie mixes, the consumer advocacy group found 'concerning' levels of lead or cadmium in a third of the chocolate products it tested. Consumer Report coupled its report with a call on Hershey Co., the largest purveyor of chocolate in the U.S.
' Following up on findings of potentially dangerous amounts of heavy metals in some brands of dark chocolate last last year, scientists at the nonprofit advocacy organization ran new tests on other kinds of chocolates and food items made with the ingredient. The products tested included dark chocolate bars, milk chocolate bars, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and mixes for hot cocoa, brownies and chocolate cake.
