Lindt is not the only chocolate company with problems, but I won't be eating their chocolates any time soon. I really want to see that CR report.

And I thought chocolate was a safe option since no recalls for listeria, salmonella, or E.coli. I would often joke when reading about another recall on veggies that chocolate or cake don't seem to be subjects of recalls. But alas, that bubble has burst. This article from consumer reports lists all the chocolate companies who make unsafe chocolate, especially dark chocolate. I'm crying a little bit.
