DO NOT BUY WALMARTS GREAT VALUE HOT CHOCOLATE MIX!
Holy shit, +300% of lead

Research indicates that lead and cadmium get into cocoa in different ways. For cadmium, it appears that the cocoa plant takes it up from the soil. Lead, however, can be deposited on the cocoa beans after harvest, potentially from dust and soil as beans dry outdoors.
Sounds like this potentially affects nearly all chocolate.
Looking at the data provided though, Walmart great value hot chocolate mix is especially egregious.
God damn, thank you.
My instant reaction was 🤘 but I now realise that’s very bad

Now you can become what you eat, increasing kvlt points. What’s not to love?
To determine the risk posed by the chocolates in CR’s test, we used California’s maximum allowable dose level (MADL) for lead (0.5 micrograms) and cadmium (4.1mcg).
CR’s scientists measured heavy metal content against California’s standard levels because there are no federal limits for the amount of lead and cadmium most foods can contain, and they believe that California’s standard levels are the most protective available.

At least it’s not death metal.
I think it IS death metal.
Maaaan I consume dark chocolate daily like a chocoholic crackhead. I’m gonna get heavy metal-related brain damage by 50 😭
still or again?
Fuck yeah throw your horns
Good thing I can’t afford chocolate.
Is it not enough that American chocolate tastes like vomit? Now they have to add lead to the batch!
You getting your cocoa beans sourced from Italy? Of course you’re not, they’re coming from the same place too, and will have as much led as any.
