I love Tony's, but they're also reportedly higher in lead content than other brands.

Valrhona is a solid non-American brand pick from the list of safer chocolate and they're B-Corp certified. I believe their parents company is French.
When it comes to chocolate you're often forced to pick your poison, so to speak.
What's b corp certified?
In the UK, B labs certifies companies they meet their requirements for social responsibility, environmental stuff etc. I don't know the details but the companies I've seen that have B corp status seem to care about doing nice stuff, so I consider it a plus.
