Expert investigation related to cocoa and chocolate products final report
Since March 2018, a committee of four experts (the Expert Committee) has been investigating and reporting on the predominant sources of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in chocolate products and recommending feasible measures that may be taken to meaningfully reduce Cd and Pb levels in these products. The Expert Committee was charged with preparing the following reports: ▪ A Root Cause Report that identifies the sources of Cd and Pb in chocolate products. This report considered all phases of chocolate production, from farm to factory, and considered both natural and anthropogenic sources of Cd and Pb. This report was initially submitted on March 27, 2020. ▪ A Reductions Recommendation Report that identifies feasible means for reducing Cd and Pb levels in chocolate products over the nearer and longer term. These reduction strategies considered better agricultural practices, better business practices, and better manufacturing practices. This report was initially submitted on April 12, 2021. ▪ A Warning Triggers Report that includes analyses, comments, and recommendations from each individual Expert Committee member on potential Proposition 65 warning levels for Cd and Pb in chocolate products. This report was initially submitted on November 15, 2021.
