MODERATORS
Like you say, it all has it.
I don't think you can tell going forward based on brand. This testing is really like a snapshot of the particular cacao harvests being used by each brand for that particular batch.
Cacao is sourced from multiple plantations/regions.
Even the Rainforest Alliance brands seem to have these metals, so it looks like quality control won't save it either.
Yeah pretty much every batch is going to have wildly different numbers but given that they think lead content is from dust I think the lower lead manufacturer may just be the ones washing their beans more aggressively
That's a good point. And lead would be good to avoid!
