Also known as slaves, since they are not paid, not allowed to go to school or leave, and beaten and cut as punishment.

Stop eating slave chocolate, folks.

There is ethical chocolate available.

Tony's is one of the bigger brands. Even they will admit their efforts aren't always perfect but it's about constant audits to keep the supply line safe

Yeah I know about Tonys’s. Do you know where I could find the findings of those audits?

But that isn’t an audit report, is it? Just pr material that they themselves produced.
