Not sure why you were downvoted. This is a real concern. They have found harmful amounts of lead in numerous protein products including this one.
The Consumer Reports investigation used Prop 65 limits which are 0.5 micrograms per day; FDA recommends limits significantly higher than that for children and pregnant women. The worst offender protein powders in the consumer reports list were plant based.

It's also because of cocoa; not the whey protein powder. If you are worried about lead, get the vanilla one.

This product was listed as the "Better Choices for Daily Consumption" category.
I am asking only those (who are genetically predisposed?) who actually avoid artificial sweeteners (diet sodas, Equal/Splenda/Sweet'N Low) in daily life because it actually tastes bad and not at all like sugar.
I mainly stick with Kirkland brand because I don't really taste the sucralose there. I'd prefer to avoid that artificial sweetener aftertaste that I've encountered in other products.

For those who have tried both brand's chocolate flavor (ON Extreme Milk Chocolate [costco.com] vs Kirkland Creamy Chocolate [costco.com]), can you comment on whether you can taste the artificial sweetener (sucralose)?
