Hmmm, accident it looks like they're over the maximum allowable dose level (MADL) for Cadmium in California. Using the more favorable number from their two published lab reports... 0.246 ppm = 0.0246 mg = 24.6 mcg / 100g The CA limit is 4.1mcg / ounce (28.34952g) 24.6 / 100 * 28.34952 = 6.97mcg / ounce Why did I choose the CA limit instead of using the USDA numbers? Because, unless it has changed in the last 2 years, the USDA doesn't set any such limits. I'm not sure why Bitcoin Beans claim to be "well below" USDA limits. According to Consumer Reports: "there are no federal limits for the amount of lead and cadmium most foods can contain" Source:

Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate - Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports tested 28 dark chocolate bars and found cadmium and lead in all of them. Here's how to limit your heavy metal exposure.

Maybe my conversions are wrong, but it looks like they'd rank 26th out of 29 bars tested for cadmium at 170% of the aloowable levels. The lead is harder to quantify because the report says <0.1 ppm. That could mean as much as 2.8mcg/oz, which would be above the 0.5mcg/oz limit. But it could also just as well be well below the limit. If anyone can show me where I made an error in my analysis, or run the numbers yourself and let me know if you came up with the same results, I'd appreciate a sanity check on this one. ⚡ I want to be wrong on this one. 🫤
