Oh, Tony's is European? I've been trying to cut it down but you leave me no choice but to keep supporting them...

And they have their own fair sourcing of cocoa with no slave/child labour

I thought that they couldn't guarantee that, which is why "slave-free" had to be removed from the advertising?

I switched from Tony to Claro a while back, as Tony still uses cocoa sources which cause deforestation, which is terrible for the environment.
