Lindt & Sprüngli Lead and Cadmium in Dark Chocolate Bars Complaint

January 10, 2023

Is dark chocolate healthier than milk chocolate? Not in the case of some chocolate bars, says this class action against Lindt & Sprüngli (North America), Inc. The complaint refers to recent testing by Consumer Reports of the company’s Excellence Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa bar and Excellence Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa bar, which claims that “eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and [Consumer Reports’] experts say may be harmful.”
