"In testing on the chocolate flavors, cadmium was detected across samples (alleged in lab reports at levels up to 70.3 parts per billion), alongside lead and inorganic arsenic. This aligns with industry-wide data showing cocoa/cacao absorbs higher amounts of cadmium from soil."
"The chocolate flavor carries higher cadmium levels than vanilla due to the natural cocoa content."

Your link is about a lawsuit regarding their protein powder. I don't see anything about their shakes in that article.
So I did a Google search and found some relevant info.
https://www.google.com/search?q=A...b&
Key Findings & Reports
• Consumer Reports Testing: A Consumer Reports analysis of protein powders and shakes found that plant-based protein products (such as those using pea protein) contained elevated levels of lead and other heavy metals compared to dairy-based alternatives. Orgain's Vanilla Bean flavor was flagged for containing lead at 143% of Consumer Reports' internal level of concern, though it was categorized as "okay to eat occasionally" with a recommendation to limit weekly intake.
• Class-Action Lawsuits: Orgain Organic Protein Powder (specifically Vanilla Bean and Creamy Chocolate Fudge varieties sold at retailers like Costco and Amazon) became the subject of proposed class-action lawsuits in July 2026. The lawsuits allege that the products contain undisclosed heavy metals (lead, cadmium, and arsenic) exceeding California Proposition 65 limits.
• Company and Regulatory Response: Orgain maintains that its products are safe, comply with all applicable food safety guidelines, and meet government standards. The company notes that trace amounts of heavy metals naturally occur in agricultural and plant-based ingredients because plants absorb them from the soil and water. The FDA has not issued a recall for Orgain products.
Many people like to get some advance heads up for upcoming deals. Look how popular they are. For example, the upcoming Costco Coupon Book in general.
That ALWAYS is a huge hit.
This item is just one of those items in that sale, which I find a good value and useful to point out.
It's a little strange to see such a strong negative reaction from someone who has been here for a year. But hey, to each their own. Good luck to you in your deal hunting.
