There’s also the Tony’s open chain: a pledge by many companies (not just eu, also us) to use only ethically sourced cocoa. The companies are: here

      This is for dark chocolate only, and the article has them listed as one of the lowest lead brands. Crazy that they’re all so high though, WTF!

        A fair point! Didn’t even occur to me since I only bother with the dark stuff lol

        They’re the lowest listed of the “high lead content” category. So kind of the best of the worst for it, I suppose.

    I was under the impression that Tony’s is working towards a chocolate industry without child labor and forced labor. But the issue is quite complex and they’re not there yet.

    Not saying they’re bad. It seems that they’re doing what they can and according to their website they “lead by example”. But I’m not sure if they make any promises about a 100% child labor / forced labor free supply chain at this moment.

    The above could be outdated, maybe they’ve achieved their objectives for their own supply chain already. But I can’t find it on their website atm.

      Previously they claimed no slave labor for many years.

      They audited their supply chain every year, but eventually found that no matter the claims of their suppliers and auditors, they were finding instances of child labor.

      So they’ve updated their stance and are actively working to change the industry

      Here’s an article from 2022 covering the issue

    I discovered Tony’s Chocoloney a few months ago, and I really love it. I can get it at my local supermarket as well. Great to see them on here!

    I hate that my choices are Expensive, Evil, or Doesn’t Taste Good when it comes to so many products.

      Which applies for you with this brand? I love the taste, but would admit it’s a fair chunk of my weekly groceries total.

    Also it’s pretty good. I didn’t know I liked milk chocolate, because Hershey’s is disgusting. Tony’s is objectively a better tasting product.

      Hershey’s is someone LARPing chocolate making. It’s pure disgusting. How people have been eating it for so long is beyond me.

        Some of us grew up thinking that was chocolate. Have pity, rather than disdain.

          The lies your government have fed you since you were a child are hard to forget. But join us, in the real chocolate world, my child, and we will embrace you with open arms.

    I love Tony’s as much as the next guy. However, be aware that a test conducted in 2022 found high levels of lead in Chocolonely Dark Chocolate variant.

    Consistent, long-term exposure to even small amounts of heavy metals can lead to a variety of health problems. The danger is greatest for pregnant people and young children because the metals can cause developmental problems, affect brain development, and lead to lower IQ, says Tunde Akinleye, the CR food safety researcher who led this testing project.

    FYI: Check if whatever brand you like also works with Tony’s for their supply chain. For example Jumbo (NL supermarket) sources their chocolate from Tony’s and there’s quite a lot more partners.

        I don’t see Milka as quality, more Fondente Nero by Novi, or better, Venchi. But that doesn’t imply Tony’s are bad, I tried a variety pack last time, I enjoyed 90% of them (I’m not into too sweet)
