Food Safety Action Plan report : 2011-2012 targeted surveys - chemistry : lead in candy, chocolate and cocoa powder.: A104-554/2012E-PDF

"Lead levels in meat, dairy products, eggs, honey, fruits and vegetables (processed and fresh) are monitored annually under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program (NRCMP). The NCRMP does not test finished and/or manufactured foods such as candy, chocolate and cocoa powder, for lead. Therefore, the main objective of the current survey was to generate baseline surveillance data on the level of lead in candy, chocolate and cocoa powders available on the Canadian retail market"--Executive summary, page 2.
