Keith just happened to be in San Francisco the weekend of the CCE – the only chocolate show I know of accompanied by a Prop 65 warning – and only had one day – Friday, an industry-only trade expo day – to case the show floor and chat with exhibitors. Keith is a seasoned veteran when it comes to attending food chocolate trade shows and so I am looking forward to his thoughts. ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/001-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/003-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/002-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/007-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/008-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/009-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/006-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/004-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/010-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/011-Large.jpeg) ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2024/05/005-Large-1.jpeg) All photos in the galleries were taken by Keith Ayoob.

Cadmium is a naturally occurring component in soil, and many plants take it up as they absorb nutrients, which is how it gets into our cocoa beans. According to the CDC, cadmium is commonly found in vegetables, and in relatively high concentrations in leafy greens like spinach. The law won't allow us to say much more about how the tiny trace amounts found in our product will affect your health, but if you want to reduce your exposure to cadmium generally, you might consider eating fewer leafy greens. Virtually all chocolate needs to have a Prop 65 warning, but if you'd like a more nuanced view or want to know more, visit [www.P65warnings.ca.gov](http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) --- ### **Questions?** If you have questions, you can ask them live during the episode or, if you are a ChocolateLife member, you can ask them in the Comments below at any time. --- ### **Episo**de Hashtags a**nd Related Accounts to Follow** #CraftChocolateExperience #cocoa #cacao #cacau #chocolate #chocolat #craftchocolate #PodSaveChocolate #PodSaveChoc #LaVidaCocoa #TheChocolateLife --- ### **Future Episodes** 🗓️ The guest for the Tuesday, May 28th episode of PodSaveChocolate will be Nataly Nicholls, Founder and Chief Chocolatier of Magno Chocolate, located in Medellin Colombia.
