Numerous issues in the cocoa industry, including fairness practices, have heightened consumers' demand for consciously sourced products like the ethical chocolate bars by UP-UP. The brand sets itself apart by making quality chocolate with "no downside," and it works with organizations like slavefreetrade to ensure that its products aren't contributing to human rights violations.
The story of the brand's 100% certified slave-free cocoa is stamped onto the bars' segments and the underside of the wrappers, including messaging like "no half measures" and "not just good but good good." Ethically produced chocolates from the brand include tantalizing varieties like Dark Sea Salt with Single Estate 50% cacao content, Sweet Orange, Salted Caramel and Original Milk Chocolate.
