NEW YORK -Concentrations of heavy metals found in single servings of some chocolates and cocoa-based products are too low in most cases to pose a health risk to consumers, research set to be published on Thursday in the journal Frontiers shows.

They said the findings of their study showed the products may not pose a health risk when consumed as single servings, though larger portions could exceed strict California limits set in a law known as Prop 65. U.S. chocolate industry group the National Confectioners Association said the research confirms that"chocolate and cocoa are safe to eat and can be enjoyed as treats as they have been for centuries."
