I love chocolate but even cocoa powders 3rd party tested low for heavy metals last year can come back looking like this the following year.

Best to stay away, unfortunately.

I have a fantastic source, and never do powder.

100% ceremonial grade cacao, verified.

3rd party lab tested? Share a link, sir.

The Now brand cocoa powder is tested for heavy metals and passed it. Someone on health twitter posted about it a couple months back

So was this one. Last year.

How often is Now tested?

Not sure. Need to look into it tonight

The problem with doing a single test is the bait and switch to cheaper goods after.

Periodic, random, 3rd party testing is probably the only way to ensure no cheating.

👍👍

For some goods I probably care less but not going to mess around with chocolate. I should probably take the same stance with coffee TBH.

Coffee is peaty. But I personally just do espresso for raw milk and raw honey.

We do still have to live life at the end of the day. So as long as I am hitting 99% of the major stuff, my personal tradeoffs like the cocoa powder and coffee are good for me since I look forward to those treats
