The problem isn’t just aimed at consumers eating the food, but the workers exposed to the chemicals. Anyone arguing this is a bad thing is only upset because they snack on lead paint chips
“While it is not possible to prevent or remove lead entirely from foods, the levels in food can be reduced. By law, food manufacturers have a responsibility to implement controls as needed to significantly minimize or prevent exposure to chemical hazards—including lead.”
This is why nearly everything in California has the Prop 65 warning on it. People are correct that having no lead would be preferable but its literally not possible currently.
I ain’t eating this s*** until all metals are gone, and they can prove completely with thorough testing that the machines have been properly cleaned and don’t add metals.

They need to make sure removing the heavy metals wont destabilize the wax that makes up %40 of the “chocolate” bar.
