This week's You ask, they answer may be melt in the mouth delicious but is it as ethical as it makes out to be?
This week, the organic chocolate company Green & Black's will be online from Monday to Friday this week answering your questions. Are you curious about ingredients? Manufacturing processes and practices? Environmental impacts? Do you want to know if they use palm oil in their products?
Green & Black's Maya Gold bar was the first certified organic Fairtrade product sold in the UK – and the company announced last week they will be switching their entire product portfolio to Fairtrade by the end of next year. This news delighted chocolate lovers on twitter who hoped it would make up for disappointment over Kraft's Cadbury takeover, obviously unaware that Green & Black's is actually wholly owned by Cadbury and will also become part of Kraft too. Perhaps you'd like to know what effect Kraft's ownership will have? And is Fairtrade certification just a lesser alternative to 'mission driven' Fairtrade companies which are owned, or part-owned by farmers?
Post your burning questions here this week and Green & Black's will do their best to answer.
