I love Tony's, but they're also reportedly higher in lead content than other brands.

Valrhona is a solid non-American brand pick from the list of safer chocolate and they're B-Corp certified. I believe their parents company is French.
When it comes to chocolate you're often forced to pick your poison, so to speak.
What's b corp certified?
This is for dark chocolate only, and the article has them listed as one of the lowest lead brands. Crazy that they're all so high though, WTF!
A fair point! Didn't even occur to me since I only bother with the dark stuff lol
They're the lowest listed of the "high lead content" category. So kind of the best of the worst for it, I suppose.
TIL chocolate can have lead...jfc
