Arsenic & metals · CR investigations
Consumer Reports testing
- 1Spring waters with nondetect arsenicMany national brands tested by CR showed nondetect or very low As — prefer brands publishing lab reports.
- 2Carbonated / sparkling watersCR rounds: metals typically within limits; arsenic often below CR’s 3 ppb guidance — PFAS is a separate screen.
- 3Filtered / RO bottled linesOften lowest residual metals when maintained — verify NSF/cert labels and remineralization if desired.
Cocoa powder
Lead & cadmium vs CA MADL refs · CR 2023
Consumer Reports suite
- 1Navitas Organics Organic Cacao PowderCR: best cocoa tested — ~77% of lead MADL & ~17% of cadmium MADL per 1 Tbsp serving; brand publishes third-party metal testing
- 2Other natural (non-Dutch) cocoasCR: heterogeneous lead across naturals — none exceeded cadmium MADL in powder subset; batch variance.
- 3Contrast · Hershey’s Natural 100%CR: lead above screening threshold among naturals tested — shows spread vs winner.
