Lead detected at 2.5 ppm from lead chromate pigment added to enhance color intensity. This practice is common in some regions. FDA has issued Import Alert 28-04 for this brand. Lead chromate is intentionally added, not from environmental contamination.
The listed regulatory threshold uses a non-ppm unit, so this result requires source-specific guidance.

Lead detected at 4.8 ppm per ounce. Lead uptake occurs primarily through soil during cacao cultivation. Higher cacao percentage generally correlates with higher lead levels.
Lead at 1.2 ppm per serving from cocoa sourcing. Cocoa beans naturally uptake heavy metals from soil. Chronic daily consumption may warrant monitoring, especially during pregnancy.
Trace lead at 0.5 ppm per serving from can lining and soil uptake in fruit. Meets this dataset's low-risk criteria. Canned foods generally have slightly higher metal levels than fresh equivalents due to processing and packaging.
