    Seriously don't worry about it. As mentioned the levels do not exceed safe levels, not every one is sensitive to it and it's not in every piece.

    I think the purpose of mentioning it in the article was to assure readers it was not an issue (should it be mentioned to them) than to scare monger.

    Green and black 85% is great.

    I keep a 2.5kg bag of Lindt 70% in my pantry for cooking and the very occasional snack. Not a choc lover, but when I do, I go dark ;)
