DON'T BUY THESE 10 CHOCOLATE BRANDS AND 6 THAT ARE ACTUALLY CHOCOLATE
hink you're buying real chocolate? Think again. In this investigation, we analyzed 16 of America's most popular chocolate brands using Consumer Reports' heavy metal testing, FDA labeling standards, ingredient labels, corporate ownership records, and independent food safety research. The results reveal which chocolate brands contain concerning levels of lead and cadmium, hydrogenated oils, compound coatings, or misleading ingredients and which brands are actually made with real cocoa and cleaner sourcing. We investigate popular brands including Hershey's, Trader Joe's, Lindt, Cadbury, Toblerone, Godiva, Dove, Nestlé, Russell Stover, and Palmer. Then we reveal the best chocolate brands worth buying, including Ghirardelli, Tony's Chocolonely, Taza Chocolate, Hu Kitchen, Alter Eco, and Endangered Species Chocolate.
