Thanks for the update on the product, Jeff. I haven't used any cocoa in ages so had no idea the product changed.

There are some that are pretty clean, many that are not. I love a bit of chocolate, cocoa, chewing raw nibs or beans, now and then. In reality I probably don't eat enough to make the contamination a real issue, but just for peace of mind, I contact companies and request 3rd party batch testing of current product(s). Many are surprisingly evasive about providing that or just flat out say they don't test. Some do test and if the results are good, are usually happy to email a copy.
