The Captain's Response to Lead and Cadmium Contaminated Chocolate
We significantly reduce the exposure to toxic metals by processing our cacao by hand and using tools mostly comprised of granite and stainless-steel. Contamination occurs at every level of any agricultural product, but specifically with chocolate, studies show that it's the post-harvesting process using industrial-grade equipment is what contaminates chocolate--machinery that we do not use. We know where our chocolate comes from, and we have control over every step in the supply chain.
