U.K. ‘s Channel 4 aired an investigation that found children as young as 10 working at a cocoa farm in Ghana in sweltering heat, wielding sharp knives and working for up to nine hours a day.
The practices were linked directly to Mondelez International, Cadbury’s parent company, which also has operations in Canada. Cadbury is England’s biggest chocolate company and, according to Cadbury World, makes about 500 million creme eggs a year, a popular Easter treat in North America. “The welfare of the children and families featured is our primary concern and we commit to investigating further so we can provide any support needed. As part of our Cocoa Life programme, we have child labour monitoring and remediation systems in place in Ghana, which means community members and NGO partners are trained to provide assistance to vulnerable children, and once identified, we can help to address any cases of child labour.
You all tolerate Apple and their slave labor with multiple suicides as a direct result, that’s ok, so this tweet just makes me wanna buy Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. Thanks
How old are the children that mine minerals and rare earth for our phones and ev batteries? Make Nike shoes on and on and on.
YaY! Capitalism!

OMG don’t let the mother’s see this- too much reality for their bubble packed kiddies. “Let them have their Eggs, they have struggled mentally thru COVID 😩” Sorry but inequality is Western shame🤷♀️
You forgot to add that if they don't, their families will lose income and be unable to buy food. We might not agree, but in most impoverished & 3rd world countries, children working is the norm and the expectation. It's a matter of survival and support for the family.
But hey, environmentalists love them creme eggs!
