Johns Hopkins Medicine toxicologist Andrew Stolbach told NPR that MADLs are set to be "very conservative" to account for people with higher risk due to their age and other medical conditions. When the chocolate is consumed in moderate amounts, the lead and cadmium levels are nothing to worry about, he says.

Meanwhile in Germany the people are standing in rows on the streets since 2AM because of some influencer shit about superspecial 'Dubai Chocolate' in limited edition.

Yeah... most dark chocolate has lead, the super expensive $5 bar might have the highest levels. Feels like they are targeting Lindt explicitly instead of going after the entire chocolate industry for being negligent about removing heavy metals.

Ghirardelli actually posted some of the lower lead/cadmium levels across dark chocolate.

At least lead is still vegan.
