At this point, food from the grocery store is more dangerous than cardboard for compost. I will continue to use cardboard to help suppress weeds and feed the soil.
Try putting actual dirt, sand, silt & clay in your beds. You're filling (& find yourself refilling) with compost which is not dirt/soil. A good 12 in of real dirt will improve you beds. You can also cover crop your beds which will improve soil life & put organic matter (dead cover crop roots) right where you need them.
Maybe It was found in the chickens because they constantly pecked through the bedding inadvertently eating a good amount of the cardboard. Maybe I’m wrong but i thought the dioxins were found in white paper. I thought this was why you’re supposed to only use brown.

Much if not most internet paranoia deserves an eye roll.
