Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Consumer lab has just published it's review of cacao products and out of the 41 products they reviewed, Healthworks cacao powder had the 3rd highest levels of cadmium at 24.9 µg per serving. ATSDR published allowable intake at 0.1 µg/kg/day based on kidney toxicity and California proposition 65 recommends daily limits not to exceed 4.1 µg per day. While this product is the raw nibs and not the powder, the source is the same. Given this information, this product is not safe for daily consumption.
