    • Mast - Organic Dark Chocolate\80% Cocoa
    • Taza Chocolate - Organic Deliciously Dark Chocolate\70% Cacao
    • Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate\86% Cacao
    • Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate Twilight Delight\72% Cacao
    • Valrhona - Abinao Dark Chocolate\85% Cacao

    Also there are other foods that can have it:

    It can be found in many other foods—such as sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots—and small amounts from multiple sources can add up to dangerous levels. That’s why it’s important to limit exposure when you can.
