    Please support Tony’s Chocolonely- they actively work to make sure that their Cocoa suppliers get a living wage, far more than what virtually any other Cocoa buyers pay.

    As a bonus, their chocolate is pretty tasty too!

      if you are in the bay area, check out dandelion in san francisco. they make pretty good chocolate. the stuff you can get in stores is all too chalky for me. theirs is not chalky.

      Plain false.

      Besides Lindt, which is publicly traded and has a minor share of American investors, almost all the other brands are family owned, which is rare in the modern food industry (Kinder, Nutella, Ritter, Knoppers, Toffifee and Haribo). Tony’s is backed by the Belgian investment group Verlinvest.

    I‘d like to add Zotter to the list. Really good chocolate plus they only use ingredients from organic cultivation and pay their suppliers well.

      yesn’t. they have really good chocolate, but they refused to boycott russia back in 2022 (or 23?) and had a really low excuse, although most german companies stood in solidarity with ukraine.

    Please avoid Nutella, Kinder and Ferrero products in general. They are known to source their cacao and nuts from child labour.

    Also Nutella is like 2/3 palm oil, which destroys rainforests.

    Be careful of Cadbury, for those considering.

    In the US it is mostly Hershey’s, everywhere else it’s fine.
