According to the AG’s office, state investigators found excessive levels of lead or cadmium in the company's Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion and Amazing Grass Raw Reserve Chocolate in violation of California law, which requires businesses to provide warnings before exposing consumers to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
The AG's office also alleged that Amazing Grass violated the state’s false advertising law.
Amazing Grass, also known as Grass Advantage, was hit with $213,167 in penalties and a list of demands to demonstrate reduced levels of heavy metals in its products, per the terms of a settlement the attorney general's office announced Friday.
