The title is a bit misleading because we are only talking about two very niche Hershey products. Special Dark and 85 percent cocao bars. Some people ITT seem to make the leap that it's the iconic milk chocolate bar.

Which makes sense, since that (the darkest varieties) is a less processed chocolate. Also, it being done in Africa, a place where leaded gas is still being used (until recently), means that it was likely absorbing it through the air as they dried out the beans.

>The Senate report concluded that Eckstrom was solely responsible for the mapping error, which happened during the state's transition to a new internal information system from 2011 to 2017. State officials testified that Eckstrom ignored auditors' yearslong warnings of a "material weakness" in his office and flawed cash reporting.

Not sure what the laws are for this; however, I'm guessing that criminal charges wouldn't be a stretch for mismanagement of public funds at this scale.

In a private company, I'm guessing a regulatory agency would be in your office the next day if this sort of accounting error was reported.

Any CPAs out there who could shed some light?
