The app reflects Food Empowerment Project’s most recent research on companies that make vegan chocolate products to find out if they source their chocolate from areas where slavery can still be found. List can be searched by name or viewed by recommendation. Notes: The list is updated monthly as we add more companies and update the status for others. All companies listed make vegan chocolates, but some may also sell non-vegan chocolates – we encourage you to read ingredients before purchasing. Companies such as Mars and others are culpable, but are not listed as they do not make vegan products. The most recent list will be used/downloaded when you have a network connection; otherwise, it will use the saved version. Therefore, the size of the download will change slightly over time (as our list grows).
