Deforestation risk details
Cocoa
Primary ingredient grade: B
Primary ingredient: 0.044 m² per kg of food
Cocoa production, concentrated mainly in West Africa, contributes significantly to deforestation. For example, Côte d'Ivoire, the leading cocoa-producing country, has lost 90% of its forests since the 1960s.
Other risky ingredients
These ingredients are not yet assessed for deforestation risk:
whole milk powder
Labels
The presence of certain labels can greatly help reduce the risk of deforestation, through the presence of environmental criteria and/or through better remuneration of producers.
