In this study, the U.S. EPA All-Ages Lead Model was used to evaluate whether chocolate bar consumption in the U.S. substantially contributes to the variance in blood lead levels (BLLs). Both deterministic estimates and probabilistic (Monte Carlo) sensitivity analyses were considered with age-specific exposure factors. Central tendency exposure scenarios revealed that chocolate contributed approximately 0.3–0.8 % of total Pb intake and 0.5–0.7 % of Pb in blood. In plausible high-end exposure scenarios (approximately 50–75 % of a full-size chocolate bar daily), chocolate contributed approximately 3.1–6.5 % of BLLs. Probabilistic analyses showed that BLL exceedances of the CDC blood-lead reference value were primarily associated with high-end soil and/or dust concentrations. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that soil and dust contributed 37 % and 51 % respectively to BLL variance in young children, while chocolate contributed approximately 0.1 %. BLL changes associated with chocolate consumption are most likely less than current analytical precision limits for commonly administered BLL tests. The findings indicate that chocolate consumption at typical U.S. levels represents a small fraction of overall Pb exposure. Risk management strategies should prioritize reducing residential soil and dust Pb exposures, the likely dominant pathways for elevated BLLs in the general population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":317,"journal":{"name":"Food and Chemical Toxicology","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 115979"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146058254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
