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.
I haven’t eaten Hershey’s in so long because I remember it tasting mildly of vomit. Am I the only one who thinks the flavor has hints of vomit? What even is that?
The sour notes in America’s most popular chocolate are commonly attributed to butyric acid—a compound found in spoiled butter and, yes, vomit. Hershey denies adding it to their product, and the ingredient isn’t listed on the label, but that doesn’t mean it’s not part of the recipe.

Honestly, I can barely taste it, so I don’t mind. I don’t think Hershey is that bad. It’s not good, but it’s not bad. It’s the cheap stuff.
Lead and cadmium aside. No food product should have either of those in it.
