Is there lead in this chocolate based on the recent study finding lead in the chocolate?

I just checked the latest ConsumerLab.com report (12/21/19) and this is their "top pick," and shows NO lead, and 0.6 micro grams of cadmium.

Is this product Dutch-processed (processed with alkali)?

This product is NON-alkalized. As an added bonus the _only_ ingredient is: cocoa :-)

What is the best way to store this if not using it all after opening it?

If it’s hot I seal it well and put in the freezer. Or store in a cool dry place.

Is this dutched cocoa?

It does not say Dutch anywhere on item. 100% unsweetened cocoa. Premium baking cocoa. Good quality taste.
