Rain washes the lead off of the plants and into the ground sending lead to the "root of the problem"! This is probably just one source.

We were just talking about this yesterday at the shop. Or rather, a customer came in and mentioned a chocolate recall but she didn't know any of the details. Fortunately, the only Dagoba bar we carry (The Conocada -- the only one certified Fair Trade), is not on the recall list. We do carry an immense variety of gourmet chocolates from all over the world, so I hope the rest are relatively safe -- or as safe as any dark chocolate <i>can</i> be. Not that this is going to stop me eating it. Gah. I'm such a junkie. <ul> <li> <em>chomp, chew... munch... me too! --McAuliflower</em></li> </ul> Whoah.
