Fair trade, single origin chocolate. It will often say the farm it’s from on the packaging and everything. It’s often much more expensive, of course, but it also tastes much better :).
It’s mostly because it’s almost impossible to make that guarantee (honestly, at least), even if you’re really actively trying to vet your supply chain. There just isn’t much child-labor-free cocoa production in the world period, and there’s a lot of structural forces on the ground keeping it that way.
I switched to Tony’s chocolate years ago, I was heartbroken to hear even that doesn’t guarantee that chocolate is free from slave labour 😔
I think i read or heard once that it’s almost impossible to make that guarantee.

It’s literally impossible to avoid slave labor if you eat chocolate.
Tony at least tries to make things better where they can. Which is the most you can really ask for given the current situation.
It’s goanna take a lot of make things better where you can before we can even hope to see the start of actual permanent change.
Not literally impossible, just hard for people to do if they don’t run the farms themselves.
On that note, fun reminder that Nestle isn’t even the worst offender in the chocolate slavery business.
Fuck. I just bought some yesterday.
