According to statements from Bouchard, the company has implemented a surveillance program to periodically test raw materials and finished products for heavy metals, including lead and cadmium. This proactive approach directly addresses the consumer question: **'Does Bouchard dark chocolate have heavy metals?'**

According to Consumer Reports' testing of 12 chocolate chip products, detectable levels of heavy metals were found in all of them, though most products remained below concerning levels for the average serving size. This has prompted many to seek out brands that prioritize lower contamination.
