Amidst shocking revelations, a CBS News report exposes chocolate giant Mars for allegedly using cocoa beans harvested by children as young as five in Ghana.
Despite the company's commitment to protecting children in its supply chain, footage captured by CBS News reveals children wielding machetes to open cocoa pods, with one child nearly losing a finger. Mars claims to have a monitoring system to keep children in schools, but investigations found discrepancies, raising concerns about the efficacy of the company's measures.
Mars responds, condemning child labor and pledging ongoing efforts to address human rights in the cocoa supply chain.
