"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California MADL dose of 0.5 micrograms of lead, for those wondering about details.
An ounce is about 29 grams in non-freedom units, for those wondering
I’ve bought drugs before, I know how many grams in an ounce
micrograms, which is 1/1000 of a milligram. No amount of lead is considered safe, but you would need to eat allllottttttt of this chocolate before it would get to a level that, for example, a doctor would be concerned about. Ars Technica has a good write up about the CR report
Not that I’m trying to shill for Big Chocolate. When I saw the report, I definitely made a conscious effort to cut back to once a month or less.
Ah yes, sorry, I’ve corrected my comment to micrograms.
Am I blind or can I not find the claim about 134% on the linked page?
Searched for “Tony” there.
It’s the first one in the high in lead section
Duh. The page looked on my phone like the article already ended and didnt bother to scroll further down >_>
Forget everything I asked :P
Well, I’m here now. What do you want?
I saw it on there among 20+ other chocolate bars.
Nvmd me. Didnt scroll far enough on the phone to see. Looked like the article was done already
I have half a block of this in the pantry. Thank you. Fuck me.
You can eat it just fine, just don’t eat it regularly for a long time.
