Starbucks’ scary chocolate ingredients – not just on Halloween
Starbucks’ scary chocolate ingredients – not just on Halloween

Halloween is coming up next week! What does Halloween mean for you? Spooky and chocolate? Well, that sounds like Starbucks to me. Their lack of action to address child and forced labor, deforestation, and farmer poverty in the production of their cocoa is scary! Send a message now and ask its CEO to take the fright out of chocolate.
We’ve sent over 140,000 messages to Starbucks together with partners and supporters. We know they’re listening – just last month they reconfirmed their commitment to responsibly source cocoa.[1] But this is more trick than treat. Will you urge Starbucks to take real action?
We want to make sure that our Halloween chocolate is ethical, slavery-free, and spook-tacular! The Chocolate Scorecard is a great way to get information about how 38 chocolate bands are performing in terms of child labor, living income, traceability & transparency, deforestation & climate, agroforestry, and agrichemical management.
Thank you for your support and for creepin’ it real this Halloween! Let’s boo this! Have a fantastic Halloween and enjoy all the candy, Kiki and the team supporting the Freedom United community
