Best Answer

yes, in fact some chocolate was recalled because it had as high as 4.5 ppm (parts per million) lead. It is a risk to eat, but so are a lot of foods. I'd say stick to a brand you trust, buy a lead testing kit, or just have chocolate on special occasions. Hope this helps!

In 2006, "Dagoba" dark-chocolate was the subject of an FDA recall for lead, but the October 2008 "Pirate's Gold" coins from China were contaminated with melamine. Both cases seem to be isolated incidents due to negligence by the manufacturers, and most brands of chocolate coins were not involved.

What does chocolate do to a dog's health and why?

Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause the dog to die. This is because dogs are very sensitive to a toxin in chocolate called theobromine. Incidentally, this is also toxic to humans, but there isn't enough in most chocolates to cause a problem for humans. Theobromine is related to caffeine and is a stimulant. In dogs it can cause heart arrhythmias and heart palpatations, which can lead to death.
