Hey, choco fan! This one’s for you. Do you realize how much power you have? You make choices every day, and what you choose to buy makes a difference.

You can demand transparency, traceability and sustainable business practices. Really!? Yep. And one way is to share our story and our chocolate.

Strange bristles in your chocolate??!
Having to issue a product recall in May was a setback. Bristles were found in several of our bars and we took immediate action. Bristles had been found in a sieve used to produce our bars. “Huh?!” we thought, “How come there are bristles in our chocolate???” Well.., new tanks had just been installed at the factory. Before the first production run, new couverture (liquid chocolate) tanks are coated (the brush is similar to a wallpaper brush) with a fine layer of cocoa butter.  And, as you can probably guess, some of the bristles had fallen out of the brush and ended up in the chocolate. We notified consumers through our website, social media channels and by email. We also issued a press release to all national media. Anyone who had purchased a bar with the same batch number could return it to us for a refund.
