Hello! Cadmium crème eggs for Easter?

Translation for the non-understanding "fuck you take your upvote"
Thanks I ate Godiva and Lindt.
Toured the South Bend Chocolate factory (in South Bend) this week. Can't speak to the ingredients, but saw many points of concern that prompted regret of past consumption and a skipping of the gift shop offerings after the tour.
Unreal and can't believe they haven't been shut down.
The lead and cadmium are to improve the flavour of Hershey's chocolate.
I've been known to have an occasional Hershey's milk chocolate nuggets with almonds and toffee, so it sounds like (since it's not DARK chocolate) I'm not ingesting such toxins.
TLDR: It is Hershey's high end brand, Lilly's that was contaminated. Cadmium and lead can naturally accumulate in cocoa plants. A lot of other brands were contaminated, too, but so far only Hershey's is being sued.
