Tony Chocoloney's was founded in 2005, by Teun va de Keuk, a Dutch journalist who exposed child slave labour in the cocoa industry. Teun (Dutch for Tony) saw how rife slave labour of both children and adults is in West Africa where 60% of the world's cocoa beans are grown. He decided to take action and set up his own Fairtrade chocolate business. These delicious vegan chocolate bars are guaranteed to be grown and manufactured in a process that excludes slave labour.
