Consumer Reports said on Wednesday it had found "concerning" levels of lead and cadmium in a third of various chocolate products it tested recently, and called on Hershey to reduce the amounts of heavy metals in its chocolate.

    The only American chocolate I like is made by Wilbur. Far, far better than anything Hershey or Nestle makes.

      I used to go to the Wilbur museum all the time! The milk chocolate Wilbur buds are some of the best chocolates I’ve ever had.

        Unfortunately the factory in Lititz shut down in 2016 so the town doesn’t smell like chocolate anymore.

          Never been there, never even knew this little fact but now I’m sad for that town.

            That town has gotten pretty ritzy in recent years since Lady Gaga moved in next door and they added a fancy new production center near the airport. Big name tours use the space to build and test lighting and sound setups, so there’s a lot of rock stars in town.

            The factory still sells chocolate, too.
