There’s a dirty secret about the chocolate industry: it profits from child labor and enslavement. The Supreme Court just made it harder for six abused laborers to seek redress.

Chocolate bars. They evoke happiness and the sweet pleasures of childhood. Which made for bitter irony when the Supreme Court declined to hold chocolate makers accountable for their links to child and slave labor.

Many cocoa farmers in West Africa—source of around 70% of the world’s cocoa—engage in human trafficking and child labor, including child slavery. Consumers may not be aware, but no one familiar with the industry disputes it. A key driver is that cocoa prices do not cover the cost of production—and no wonder: farmers only earn 6.6 percent of the price of a chocolate bar and many are themselves living in poverty.
