Hi Luisa,

Thanks for your email.

I am very much aware of the concerns that surround the cocoa plantations and child labour.

As we are a reseller and don’t deal in raw ingredients I cannot say for sure as to the ethical sources of the chocolate we buy in so we could not guarantee that there are any victims to our knowledge.

We do have one product, the Cocolo chocolate bars which hold the Fair trade label. This ensures you that the cocoa farmer has been paid a fair price for the cocoa beans. It emulates that the farmer does use that money towards the community.

That is as much information as we can provide you. You are welcome to look on www.fairtrade.com.au if you like.

Thanks

Megan

So basically all their chocolates bar one isn't fair trade? At least they're being honest!

It sure seems that way - but at least they say so, it's a start.

I agree, it is good, as I hadn't heard of those chocolate bars before, so her answer was actually quite helpful.

Yes, one decent response out of how many?  I must make time to follow up on the ones that didn't even reply to the question!

It is probably the most honest response to date... They don't skirt around it and ramble on about everything except the question asked.

Here is the link for Cocolo Chocolate too - worth reading!
