Cadmium in cacao why it occurs, how it is regulated, and why it is a concern for producers

Cadmium, a heavy metal that occurs naturally in soil, is absorbed by cacao plants and can pose health risks to humans when cacao is consumed. Food safety regulations, especially since 2019 in the European Union, restrict acceptable concentrations of cadmium in cacao products such as chocolate and cocoa powder.This has ramifications for the cacao sector worldwide as many farmers, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, may lose market access if they cannot meet these regulations. Actors across the cacao value chain, including farmers, must be informed and supported to adapt to these regulations.
