This study aimed to determine trace element concentrations in chocolates with cocoa percentages ranging from ≤40 % to 92 %, and to assess nutritional risk based on estimated daily intake (EDI) and target hazard quotient (THQ). Thirty-two samples were analyzed for Al, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Rb, and rare earth elements using ICP-MS. The highest concentrations were found for Fe (438.23 mg kg^-1 ), Cd (672.69 μg kg^-1 ), and Ce (114.76 μg kg^-1 ) in chocolates with 80-82 % cocoa. The maximum EDI values for Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Se were 0.02, 0.78, 0.15, 0.03, and ≤0.0004 mg kg^-1 BW day^-1 , respectively, in samples with 82 % and 95 % cocoa. The highest EDI values for Al and Rb were 0.04 and 0.19 mg kg^-1 BW day^-1 , whereas for As, Cd, Hg, and Pb reached 0.02, 0.27, 0.01, and 0.03 μg kg^-1 BW day^-1 , respectively, in chocolates with 70 % and 82 % cocoa, posing a human health risk. THQ values for Al, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, and Rb were <1. Principal component analysis showed a correlation between cocoa content, element concentration, and cocoa origin. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring both elemental concentrations and cocoa percentages to minimize toxic element exposure.
