Dagoba recalls chocolate due to high levels of lead

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Apr 9th 2006 @ 3:52PM

Dagoba Organic Chocolate has issued a recall for three varieties of chocolates that have levels of lead higher than FDA guidelines allow, according to a Dagoba press release. The lead apparently came from one particular source of cacao that Dagoba uses in their Eclipse 87%, Los Rios 68% and Prima Materia 100%. While Dagoba has issued a list of lot numbers of the lead-rich chocolate products, they're asking consumers and retailers to return all types of these varieties. According to a story in the Eureka Reporter, this includes not only bars but bricks and drops as well. Dagoba claims that all of their other products have been tested and all are within FDA guidelines.
