Chocolate production, especially mass-produced chocolate from the most prominent brands, has some unsavoury practices, including environmental and human rights problems. There are some chocolate facts to consider when choosing between all those bars in the candy aisle.
As Lela Nargi has reported for FoodPrint, cocoa is among a handful of commodity crops, including coffee, sugarcane and palm oil, that are “grown in the global south by impoverished smallholder farmers with no power in the supply chain. The purchase of these crops by multinational food and beverage corporations — to make your chocolate bars, cookies and more — supports lack of living wages, child/forced/forced child labor, sexual assault, and rampant deforestation.”
