Estimates for its products

Our rules applied to one kind of product at a time, using Feastables's evidence and, where it has product lines, that line's countries. They're estimates: we don't know which factory made any single item.

Chocolate: Good, the same as Feastables overall, because nothing we know differs between them.

Evidence

What we found

  • Passes the raw-material check for chocolate: finds and fixes child labour on cocoa farms (Fairtrade, Fair for Life or its own published monitoring).
  • Invests in worker and farming communities
  • Uses hazelnuts and palm oil in only a few products and doesn't show where they come from. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of them traced, certified or upcycled.

Research notes Since April 2025 Feastables has bought all its cocoa from Fairtrade-certified cooperatives in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, and its chocolate carries the Fairtrade mark. It says it pays at least the Fairtrade Living Income Reference Price, buys only from co-ops running child labour monitoring systems, funds the International Cocoa Initiative and is the largest ally of Tony's Open Chain. It does not name its cooperatives, volumes by country or any child labour cases found, and has published no figures to back the price claim. Its bars have been reported as made under contract by Machu Picchu Foods in Peru. No independent labour findings about its chocolate supply chain have been reported.
