Last week, Consumer Reports said it had found dangerous heavy metals in chocolate from Hershey’s (HSY), Trader Joe’s and other popular brands, stated Kevin Loria in a report published on December 15. After having tested a mix of brands both small and large, Consumer Reports concluded that for 23 of the chocolate bars, "eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR’s experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals." Other publicly traded chocolate products makers include Mondelez (MDLZ), Nestle (NSRGY) and Dove parent Unilever (UL). Reference Link
